Alright, so day one is complete. It was a pretty long day for all of us and we were certainly exhausted by the end of it. We started our first game at 8 am, which meant we had to leave by 6 to be at the diamond for warm up and pictures by 7 am. Yikes!! Annyway, our first game was OK. we were head to head with them fir 5 solid innings at 0-0 but we just couldn't seem to get our bats going. They ends up pounding us and taking advantage of our errors and brought in 6 runs. It was top of 6 when this happened so we had to get our butts in gear and it just didn't happen. So in the end, our first game was a 6-0 loss.
The second game however, we came into it with our game faces on immediately. We made some excellent defensive plays, kept our heads down out of th clouds and were smart with everything we did, inCLUDING base running. One that really stands out to me is Nicole Zacharias. She was walked to first base, but the catcher had a pass ball and wasn't running to get it, just kind of walking, and there was nobody at second base, they were all just standing around... Anyway she rounded first and took off for second base!!! I was so proud of her. It was beautiful. We were also able to bring our bats to life
this game as well. We stayed smart in the box and generally stayed away from the drops and rises and wait back on the slow change- ups . Overall, it was a fantastic game and we came out of it with a solid 8-3 win!!!
We had opening cermonies and a banquet afterwards which kept us in Unity until 9... We left the banquet early even and didn't get back till 10. I was a zombie- no joke. Aaaanywho I slept well and now it's day 2 and we've got 3 games at 10, 2, and 6. Wish us luck!!!
Today is Day 2
