So, three games today. Our first one was a good one! Our sticks were alive. I don't remember much from it because that was like 12 hours ago. But I do know that we mercies 'em after 5 innings at a score if 10-3. WOO!

Second game was against the host team, Unity Panthers. They hadn't won a game yet, and our coach told us that we HAD to win this game... Bad idea. We weren't hitting, we were making errors... Everyone was just tense and started off cocky... What sucked was that I was on the bench and not behind the plate. I hate that cause I feel so isles. Anyway, we were behind and slowly started pickin up momentum. It came to the top of 7 and we were the away team, they were up by one so we NEEDED some runs. We started making some changes, we got a runner on with one out, advanced her on a pass ball, ground single got her to third base but sacrificed the hitter. ThenI came up. 2 outs and a do or die situation. We NEEDED that third base runner home to tie. I closed my eyes, took a couple of deep breaths, prayed a prayer of peace, stepped into the box and...... RIPPED one hard to left field. It was straight up the line and I wouldve been on three of the umpire hadn't called it foul AFTER the girl knocked it foul while still catching it in fair ground. Yes, I was upset but at least I had another life. I sewing at the next pitch and fouled it off hard left. Sweet, 2 strikes, 2 outs... Gotta do it. Ball.... And..... BAM straight up the middle. Another pass ball brings me I two. Carlie rips one opp field and sends me home. Then the next batter was out. Oh well, we're now up by one. Then we do a nice three up, three down. Terrifying, but so relieving.

Third game. We're away so we hit first. Come outta top of one with 9 hits and shut 'em down. Top of two, score another  4, they score 3. Keep playin keep playing. They start hitting and we end up winning 16-12. Wierdly high numbers I know. But sweet game.

We have another at 8 am tomorrow. Then thers tie breakers at 2and the 1&2, 3&4 game. Actual FINALS are Monday. (PS- I won MVP that last game!! So sweet!!)

Let's go all the way Angels!!!
