After struggling through a few practices and several cancelled games, Abby had her first game last night. Although the team lost (6-3), I thought all the girls did a great job. They had not practiced in over a week and the game was at 8:00 (when most girls six and under are in bed). Abby played catcher and really enjoyed it. She did a great job catching the ball and throwing it back to the coach. She also hit the ball twice. The first time she got out at first and didn't understand why. Josh said she started crying and saying how hard she had tried to hit the ball, so Josh had to explain the out to her. The second time she was up to bat, she hit and made it to first. She eventually was moved all the way around the home. I was so proud of her focus and effort at the game.
(Saturday)
Today "The Heartbreakers" continued in the opening season tournament. The first game was at 1:25 and all the girls were on fire....only two strikeouts the entire game!!! Abby once again played catcher and made two base hits. The girls ended up winning the game 8-0!!! Their next game was at 4:50. By this point I think the girls were tired again. During the first game, Abby would hustle on and off the field. During the second game, so dragged on and off the field. She had her first strikeout during this game but actually handled it quite well. However, the second time she hit the ball...and got a double!!! Unfortunately, the girls ended up losing this game 3-2, but still played hard. I am so proud of Abby and her improvements over the last few weeks. I hope her enthusiasm continues. Go Heartbreakers!!!
If Abby sees me or Josh, she loves to give us a thumbs up!!
Abby ended up scoring during this inning.
Micah LOVES the ballpark. He also loves the dugout. I caught him trying to sneak in!!
Go Heartbreakers!!!
Even after the games, Micah loves to be in the middle of the activity.
