2010 BYU Intramurals Softball Champions

For spring term, Kristopher was recruited to play pitcher on a softball team by Jordan. I have known Kristopher for almost 5 years and had no idea that he could pitch. While we were dating he was continually throwing curve balls at me, so I guess I should have known that he would be a great pitcher. They had a great team and were fun to watch. To recap the season, they won all, but three of their games. Kristopher wanted me to mention that he contributes the losses to not having enough players (sure). They beat a team composed of cocky BYU football players and Mitch Payne (Kristopher's all-time favorite kicker), not only once, but three times. They also had an awesome cheerleader (me). To top it all off they won the championship. Kristopher so badly wanted a FREE intramural championship shirt and now he has it.

The playoffs were double elimination. They won the first round games, but lost in the semi-finals. This meant that they needed to get to the championship game through the loser bracket, which they did with ease. The team they played in the championship game had yet to lose so Kristopher's team needed to beat the team twice (double elimination) in a row to win the championship.

The championship games were entertaining. One of the player's on Kristopher's team couldn't keep his pants up, so he had plumber's crack the entire time. You'd think he'd feel the breeze blowing down his pants because it was a chilly night. Apparently he didn't because his bum was exposed both games. Isn't that an honor code violation or something? Lol. Another entertaining part of the game for some, but not for me, was a line drive straight to Kristopher. Pitchers typically put their gloves up to catch the ball, but not Kristopher. He must be too manly or something because he took the line drive right in the gut. It looked painful and the big circle bruise on his belly still looks painful. Kristopher toughed it out and somehow still winged the ball to first base. Bottom line they won both games and sent the other team packing. I was very proud of Kristopher and he is very proud of his shirt and that they were the division one champions.
