Shannon ATTACK
Shannon seems to get more confidence every time she steps on the field. In her last two games she has been up to bat 6 times. With 2 doubles, 2 singles and 2 walks. Not bad! Her team the Attack lost their first game of the regular season. But they still had fun and the other pitcher was bringing the heat last night. Though Shannon told me after the game that the other pitcher wasn't so bad, "She was hittable"! Go Shannon, that's the attitude.
Gracie...Fighting Shamrocks and The Rockettes!
It's been a month, I struggle getting new pictures so last night I brought the flip camera to either record video or just take a digital picture and........the batteries were dead!!!
So here is a recap from the past three days.....
Fighting Shamrocks......keep on winning!
Our team entered a 3 vs. 3 tournament with two teams entered. We had one group of girls in the competitive combined 1st and 2nd grade and another team in the rec division. Grace played in the competitive division and they took 1st place. They were awesome. Grace scored a couple of goals and we ended up with the gold medal. Our other team took 2nd place and lost out to a team that should have been playing in the competitive division. What a long but great day. From 8am until 4pm our girls played in 8 games. Now we take a well deserved summer break and will start up in August.
Softball...
We had only our second game last night. The rain has caused havoc with our schedule. So we took the field in 90 degree heat and the girls played great. For a bunch of 1st graders they got it going. All the girls had hits in every at bat. That's crazy man! On defense Grace scooped up both balls hit at her when she played 2nd base. She caught it and threw a nice toss over to 1st base. The first baseman caught the ball and they looked like then knew what they were doing. Wait, the baserunner was safe. What happened, oh yeah, the 1st basebman forgot she needed to be stepping on the base and not 6 feet away from it. But you get the idea, they had fun and did most of the fundamentals.
