Newberg Softball Tournament

April 10-11, 2010 was the first softball tournament that Paityn played in this year.

I was excited to hear that Paityn’s softball team was going to play in Newberg for three reasons…..

1. it is close to our house
2. it is close to our house
3. it is close to our house

Paityn is on a 12A team and the team is comprised of elite athletes from all over the Northwest and is made up of all 11 year old girls that are competing against primarily 12 year old teams. This weekend we were competing at the 14A level. This alone would make any player nervous, but to add on top of that , we were playing in Newberg, Paityn was extra nervous. Saturday she had a rough day at the plate, but played great defensively. Paityn normally plays 2nd base. After Saturday’s games we were scheduled to play the Newberg 14 team first thing Sunday morning. One of our neighbors are that team and she would start the game by pitching. The final score was 15-0 us!!!! Paityn finished the day with a stand-up triple and 2 RBI’s to complete the tournament. That made her weekend!!!
