Buddies #4 Baseball!

Before you start asking questions, no, nobody got hurt with the ball.

Baseball with our buddies was one of the more fun activities we've had but it was one of the most difficult to deal with my buddy on. We partnered up with Sophie and her buddy for the game and we thought everything would go swimmingly. We were wrong. We played the game a little different from what the rules implied only because we didn't understand them completely. The two buddies took turns alternating between the field and being up to bat. Our buddy has quite a strong arm! I was able to give her a few pointers on how to hold the "bat" and that she should keep her eyes glued to the ball. Near the end, our buddy started to get a little violent and when she missed the ball she hit Sophie in the arm in frustration. The atmosphere of the game went down really fast when we had to put our foot down to tell her she can't do that to others. Also, at the end of the game, our buddy was flaunting about how good she was and how she beat Sophie's buddy. Though I am happy for her, I noticed that Sophie's buddy wasn't very happy after that and I thought perhaps I should've asked her to tone it down. At the end of the day, she did have lots of fun and learned a good deal on how to hit the ball and I'm proud to say that I was an influence on that.
