Amish Softball

We headed to Arthur Illinois to watch my God daughter's softball double header. Arthur is Amish, or primarily so. As we pulled into town, a buggy pulled at full gallop by its horse power ran a stop sign and kept on going. Wow!!
The double header was good, the first game both teams were racking up runs as I worked the scoreboard and Chad the stats book. The MoCo Rush lost but it was a shootout. The second game went down quickly due to a new pitcher on the Rush. She threw 8 of 9 strikeouts and the Rush crushed their opponents ending in the third inning with a skunk. Night and Day to their first showing.
At the intermission, we grabbed some smoked meat from across the way that was outstanding. A perfect Illinois night under the lights. Good Food. Good Friends. Good small town sports.
