A couple of days would go by before the team got together for another practice, and this one ended up being a very cold ugly day. We played on a field just outside of the base, and I was put in at shortstop. We had people missing from the last practice, or I would have likely ended up in right again. I guess Will the coach liked my speed and thought he'd try me there. Moving from short to third was Matt Thomas, who was an FC on my last ship, the Nimitz. In fact, our wives worked together for a while, and were friends.
I had a great day in the field, but I didn't hit so well. 1 for 4, with a single the other way. I think my swing was out of whack, as I'm not hitting line drives. Everything is on the ground or short pop flies.
Our fielding overall was impressive. In fact, we shut the other team out. I had about 5 assists and 2 putouts on the day. Will was impressed with the way Thomas and I handled our side of the infield, and it looks like that may be where we end up playing.
Good, I hate right field.
