Great weather for softball

Typically, the first hint of fall brings out the football side of us, but we'll be the first to admit that it works for girls fastpitch softball, too.

The rather unpleasant memories of softball in 104-degree weather still linger, but they're fading fast.

Here's some of images captured from the Tuesday night action in Mustang ....  

Back at the ol' ballpark

After a hiatus from photographing Riot softball for awhile, I returned on Tuesday to find no pitching machine, a whole new cast of eagers players and a beard on Assistant Coach Brent. 

Well, that'll teach me not to take so much time off.  Here's a sampling of photos from the action on Tuesday. 

Join the Riot's facebook group

It's easy to join, it's free and there will be stuff on there you won't see here.

Any member can post their own photos, videos or observations on it.

Or you can just enjoy the page.

Banjo sez check it out.

Man, it was hot

98 degrees hot, in fact.

The Riot lost both ends of a twinbill Saturday over at the tournament in beautiful Del City, but they were real troopers playing in this heat from noon to 2 p.m.

Time to rest up, hydrate and think about the next game.

Riot in Del City tournament

Here we go again.

The girls return to tournament play Saturday at noon in Del City.

Let's hope the rain is gone for awhile.

Meanwhile, I've started a facebook fan page for friends, family and players of the Riot. I've sent email invitations to everyone on Coach Corey's e-mail list.

If you're confused by the name of the FB page creator (Steve Olafson) and the name of the author of this blog (Banjo Jones) do not be alarmed.

We are one in the same. I am Madalyn White's great-uncle and "Banjo Jones" is simply the pseudonym I've used for years for another blog unrelated to The Riot.
