I umpired the 22u league again this evening. It was at a diamond in the middle of nowhere south of Calgary. The pay was decent, $75 for the game and $30 for mileage. Pretty good pay for just over 2 hours of work.

I was on the bases again and my partner behind the plate was a father of a player I coached a number of years ago. It was good to see him again and it was a good game.

The first four innings were excellent, a pitchers duel. After the starter was pulled, the wheels fell out from the visiting team.

It ended at the 2:15 mark and the score was about 10-2. We were paid right away via e-transfer which is nice.

It was almost an hour drive home so I’m hoping I don’t have too many games at this diamond. Good news that Apollo was a good boy while I was gone for almost 5 hours, nothing damaged and nothing eaten. Good boy, Apollo. Twix was a good girl, as she always is.

When I got home, I sold two of the baseball gloves I had for sale on marketplace so that was good. I’m not coaching any longer and have no intentions to coach again so I figured I’d get rid of them.

A late dinner and some TV wrapped up the evening. My next game is Monday night.
