On Sunday, I woke up early and Tiin picked me up to go get the van and head to the field to get the rest of the team. We were playing in Lucerne that day and needed to win both games to advance to the finals. The drive takes a little over an hour and a half and we warmed up when we got there.
The game started off alright. We were tied scoreless for a couple innings, but then the Eagles started hitting and we did not. Our defense was pretty strong, but my pitching was not good enough to keep everyone from getting a hit and eventually their runs piled up and we were only able to get one off of their pitcher. In the end we lost, but it was not a bad game, just not quite good enough for us. I had a lot of fun all season though, so hopefully the Devils win next year!
After the games, we headed back in the van. We stopped at a rest stop to get something to drink and I asked Jayme, another American on our team, where she was ten years ago when she heard about the WTC. She remembered her exact class in college and what the professor said to them when he walked in to give them the news. I told her about my 7th grade experience of it and a few of the girls on our team even were asking some questions and giving their own comments as well. It was different experiencing September 11th in another country, but good to know that even though the world remembers it and feels for the families affected, life goes on. Time is a crazy concept.
We were singing on the way back for a little while and then a lot of the girls ended up falling asleep. I really like my team and am very happy I met them all.
A few of the girls, Tiin, and I watched some of the Devils baseball game when we got back to Wil. Then Tiin and I took the van back to the garage and he dropped me off at the farm. After I showered, Roman and I went and visited Peter in the hospital. He crashed his motorcycle racing this weekend and his thumb needs surgery. I was able to say a few sentences to him, which made me happy because I test my German on how well Peter understands what I am saying hahaha
After the visit, the two of us headed to Nadja's for dinner. I spilled everything and felt like T, but luckily they thought it was funny. The four of us watched the end of Fantastic 4 and most of Transformers afterwards and then Roman and I went home because we were exhausted.
