The Vardaman baseball and softball teams recently held a fun day at the ball park as they squared off for bragging rights in a game that was dubbed one of the softball players as “Mascara vs Muscle” to cap off great seasons on the diamond for both squads.
The two teams played slow pitch softball games Coach Spann playing the role of all-time pitcher and Coach Dill as the infield umpire. The guys batted with their opposite hand and ran regulation baseball bases while the girls ran the length of softball bases with no stealing allowed for either team.
The guys started the day by wearing handmade Smithville t-shirts and heckling the girls when they were taking infield before the game, but it was the ladies who got the last laugh after taking an 8-7 victory in eight innings of play proving mascara is better than muscle.
The baseball Rams jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead in the first two innings of the game, but the girls got back in the game when a throwing error to first “mysteriously” ended up in right field to help spark a three run inning.
The two teams battled, laughed, and fussed their way to a 6-4 score in the bottom of the seventh where the girls were able to plate two runs to force the game into extra innings. The guys scored one run in the top half of the eight, but like majority of their magical playoff run the girls picked up key hits for more late game heriocs one last time this season to pick up the 8-7 victory.
