How do you log playing in a softball/baseball game?

I understand that it's an option in exercise under the cardio section, but for instance, I play softball (two 7-inning games back-to-back), it typically takes 2 hours to complete both games. In that time, most of the time I'm barely moving (i play outfield). So i'm going to log that as 120 minutes of playing softball and award myself 921 calories (in my particular case) for what MyFitnessPal says I would have burned?

Please help!

    that is way high. 921 calories is about running 8 to 9 miles or walking about 10 plus. i would go like 300 max.
