Tacey had her first Softball game tonight. She has been up to her ears in the sport; attending a clinic yesterday, today and tomorrow, assistant coaching a Junior Softball team, (she plays Senior Softball), and assistant coaching Tee-Ball. She was happy her team got pink shirts; her favorite color. These shirts come as part of the package when we pay the sign up fee. But her sponsor and coach asked us to chip in some more money so they could get everyone matching black baseball pants, black visors, hot pink socks complete with Snoopy playing baseball, and ribbons to tie their shirts. (The girls roll up the sleeves and then tie ribbons around them through the neck of the shirt to make it look more like a tank top. Shane thinks it looks really silly; I told him to get used to it because it was a girl thing.) Her coach said their first goal was to intimidate the other teams by how good they look. This is Tacey dressed in the final result. Her team lost, but she had a good night. She played first base the first innning. Then she got to pitch the second inning; which really made her happy. She wanted to pitch last year, but the coach of that team wouldn't let her. She threw as many strikes as she did balls, and caught a pop fly to get one of the girls out. She also controlled the ball well and got it to the right bases to make the right plays. The third inning she played third base. She never got to hit, but never struck out. She walked onto base twice, and stole her way around every time. She likes to slide; she's not afraid to get a little (or alot) dirty. This is video of her pitching!Dallin also had a game, he didn't hit but walked onto base twice. He has a good eye and a little strike zone. He made it home the second time, the first time they got the third out while he was on third base. He also beautifully fielded a ball and got it to the right base. So, it was a great baseball night for him! (His team also lost.)
This is Dallin warming up for his game.
McCade had practice tonight, so you will begin to his game results next week.
That's it for now!
