Ok so I am just barely getting around to this, and both of these events actually occurred back in May.
This is the after-math of an unfortunate incident at Sunday afternoon softball one afternoon.
The game starts out just like any other, and it's a good fun game till the last couple innings. We're up by like 11 runs and the game is all but over, some gets a hit and one of our players in running to score from third but then stops right before the Comit Line (A commit line 20 feet from home plate is used. Once a player passes the commit line he becomes a force out at home plate. The defensive player must touch home plate for the out and have the ball in his possession. The defensive player cannot tag the runner.) then he runs back to third. The other team throws the ball to home, and the umpire initially calls him Out. Then we start letting him hear it because you can clearly see where his footprint was, behind the line still. So then the umpire walks out there, looks at the mark on the ground and changes his own call to Safe! This sends the other team into chaos. Namely their second basemen(younger girl approx. age 17) and their right fielder (older lady approx 40ish). They start going a crazy and calling all of the girls on our team Whores and Slut-Bags. So one of the girls on our team starts letting them hear it a little back, and their right fielder goes nuts yelling more and saying don't talk to my daughter that way (So it was a mom & daughter combo) and yelling more about Whores and Slut-bags. So things finally settle down, we end the inning and they quickly bat, then the game ends us winning by a substantial margin. I'm in the outfield and jogging in, and the rest of the team is going through shaking hands. About the time I get to the line to shake hands, the older woman just winds up and takes a haymaker punch at the girl on our team. Her daughter is right behind her and also starts in on the scuffle, to make it those 2 girls against our 1. It's all happening right in front of me, so I kind of just put my body in between them all, and try to hold back our girl some, for the record the girl on our team most likely would've beaten both of them, but this was not the first fight this crazy mom/daughter combo has been in, so I just tried to get in the way. Anyhow, I'm trying to hold back our girl, and the younger girl, the 17 year old winds up and nails me pretty solid in the mouth with a punch. Things finally settle down everyone goes their own ways and here I took the worst damage of anyone in the group with a bloody lip. Didn't hurt really, it was just pretty humorous more than anything.
So in the image above here I am icing my lip recovering from the hay-maker from the 17 year old crazy girl.
