Woo Hoo!!! As it ended up our team did play ball last night. I was really hoping we would be rained out because it was cold and wet, but no such luck. By the time we got to the field it was actually not too bad. We were home team, which is always good. I put Jessie in to pitch the first inning, and she did ok;. We got an out, and they scored 5 runs. I did have to pull her at the end of the inning though because she was just loosing it. So they scored 5 runs and we got 3 outs. Then we got up to bat. I don't know what we did or what was said, but they turned the bats on!!! We scored 7 runs with only 1 out. They only allow 7 runs per inning to prevent a complete blowout. Our smallest girl hit a monster double, a perfect hit over the left centerfielders head. And Jessie hit a solid single over the right fielders head. It could have been a double but it was on the wrong side of the field. Then we brought in our starting pitcher, and she struck out the first 2 batters, walked two and then struck out the last person. No runs scored!!! That is huge for us! We then came back and scored 7 more runs, and won the game 14 to 5. Jessie just happened to be the winning run to come acrossed the plate. I tell you, that girl is not afraid to steal and definitely not afraid to slide. I had a parent from the other team comment on her hit, and one of our parents commented on how she is one of the bedt players she has seen. Makes me proud!!! I think this will be her best year yet to try to make allstars.
