First Night of Ballgames

So, tonight I played in two ballgames for the tournament that we're in this week. Our first game was at 6:30 against World Outreach Church. They had 2 teams during the regular season and I think they combined the best players from each team to create the tournament team. They beat us 9-4. We really just didn't play like we could/should.

Our second game was supposed to be at 8:40, but it didn't start until 9:00. Blah! We played St. Rose Catholic Church. They're the team that beat us in our last regular season game because we just didn't give a darn. We already had 2nd place secured, several of our really good players were missing and it was VERY hot. Tonight was TOTALLY different, though! We won 19-9! I even got a homerun! I hit the ball down the right sideline and burned the right-fielder. Nobody really expects little 'ol me (a right hander) to hit it like that, so I definitely caught them off guard! My homerun wasn't the only one either. Two other girls on my team also had one.

Unfortunately, one of our players got hit in the forehead. She was running from 1st to 2nd base and had reached the base with no problem. However, the outfielder fired it into the 2nd baseman, who missed the ball, which hit our player in the head. She said she was okay, but everybody was concerned that she had a concussion. There just happened to be a nurse who works at the hospital watching, so she came and looked at K's head. K didn't show any signs of having a concussion, but the nurse advised her to go to the ER anyway. K decided against it, though, and went home early. Since K lives alone, our coach called to make sure she got home okay. Even though she seems tough, I don't expect her to be at tomorrow night's game.

Yep, we have another game tomorrow night at 7:30. This time, it's against Lady Elite...the team that beat us by ONE frickin' run in both a scrimmage and the regular season! >:( We had them beat in both games, but they came back in the last inning and won. We are OUT FOR BLOOD now!!!

Whether we play on Thursday or not depends on the standings after tomorrow night's games. The first seed team plays the fourth seed at 6:30. The second seed team plays the third seed at 7:30 and the championship game is at 8:40 (more like 9:00). We don't really care what seed we are just as long as we don't have to play against Lady Elite again!

I'll update after tomorrow night's games.
