June Jam 2010 Softball

I am so proud of my daughter!

Yesterday my daughter played in a softball tournament. This isn’t unusual, but the temperatures were in the high 90’s with high humidity, it was a tough day to play. Add to that the fact she was running a fever of 101 as a result of having had 3 vaccinations this week, I give her a giant pat on the back and a huge hug! They played a total of 7 games during the day and took 2nd place.

She played right field the entire day and made some incredible plays. In one game she caught a pop fly and then quickly threw it hard to 2nd base to get the runner ending the inning with a double play. In another game, a ball was hit towards center, but knowing that the centerfielder tends to not run up on balls to catch them, she headed that direction running as fast as she could, and made a diving catch, looking like a pro! The centerfielder even thanked her for covering and told her she wouldn’t have made the catch.

I could go on and on, but i won’t. I will just say how very proud I am of her and the team and share a photo I took of her last night after she received her 2nd place trophy.
