2nd Pool Game, 1st Bracket Game, and Lightening Today was a busy day!!!
I started off by going to the ballfileds with Lisa this morning. The line was so long yesterday after the girls game for shirts and souvenirs so instead of waiting hours, we went early this morning and waited about 20 minutes. Paityn wanted a hoodie sweatshirt and they actually ran out of them the day before. They had also run out of the “team names”. So I wanted to make sure that I was able to get something as a memento.
Then we were off to the ball fields. We were headed to Twin Oaks today. The weather was horrible even at 9:00 AM. I drove by a store thermostat and it said that it was 92 degrees with 70% humidity. Today was supposed to be one of the hottest days all summer. I honestly felt sorry for the girls!!!
The Panther’s were playing The Sorcerers from California. I talked with one of the parents of one of the team members and he was saying that their pitcher consistently pitched 63 mph (game time). She was supposedly 1 of the top 10 pitchers in the Nation at 12U. Our girls were able to get a couple of hits off of her and even some foul, but we were able to hold their hitters to only 3 runs. The Panther’s ended up losing 3-0, respectfully.
Since they lost that game that meant that “Bracket Play” started for them tonight also.
We all went back to the hotel to take showers and cool off.
The next game was at 8:00PM (1st Bracket game). The weather was still horrible…humid, hot, sticky…YUCK!!!!
The next game they played was against the Illinois Outlaws. They were a second year team also. The girls ended up playing a great game and ended up winning 14-4. Paityn was able to get in and run for Conner after Conner walked. She stole second be successfully completing a “hook slide”, got to 3rd on a pass ball, and slid home again with a “hook slide” and was safe. She has really been working on the “hook slides”.
They play the Lady Magic tomorrow at 12:00 PM…….wish us luck!!!
On the way home the lightening started...........
