Softball!!!

O.K. . .So we had a softball game last Thursday. . .Let's just say it went REALLY well!!! :) The only reason the game ended was because of the mercy rule. . .in other words, we were so far ahead of them that there was no chance of them catching up so they ended the game. Yay! So I play short stop and that's the position I've been playing all year. . .as in I've been in the entire time for every game at short stop. . .with one exception. The game before the one we won, Olivia (our first baseman) hurt her foot. . .or ankle. . .and I had to play first base while Matti subbed in for short stop. . .I caught every ball that was thrown at me (except one which was such bad aim that I didn't know if it was to me or to Mary our catcher. . .haha). I have played first base before in third or fourth grade but I don't like it for several reasons. . .

1). At our field the sun is COMPLETELY in your face. . .sorry Olivia! :(
2). Short stop gets most of the hit action (most of the balls are hit there)
3). Frankly, Michaela's throws scare me. . .if you are reading this Michaela, you don't need to throw as hard as you do to get to first base:)

Anyway, I guess the important thing is that we made it into the tournament. . .starting and ending tomorrow. . .ending tomorrow because we are playing THE hardest team in the league. . .Paradise Valley. . .Yuck!!! :P They're mean too. . .oh well. . .we out-do them in cheering for our batters!!! :) ok. . .I think that's all I have to say. . .Wish us luck in the game tomorrow. . .not that we win (which we probably won't) but that no one gets too badly hurt with the freekishly fast pitcher!!! :()
