DD's team had their first showcase over the weekend. We play HS ball in the fall so this was the first time all of the team (except 1 who is hurt) actually played together. Even at practices, we haven't had a full team yet. We got a couple new players - after losing a few from last season. We struggled towards the end of last season and we'd have moments of good stuff but there was always an inning when things got out of hand and we'd lose.
Our first game was an 830am game and it was foggy and freezing. We had a couple of errors and ended up losing 3-2. Not bad as it was very close. DD got to catch for the first time in a few years too. (She actually played 6 different positions over the weekend)
Second game - a little better - we still had some errors that allowed runners to score but won 3-2.
Next team - not that good - we kind of blew them out.
Sunday games - another 2 blow outs.
But DD was 8-13 on the weekend - on Sunday she actually went 5-6.
And have to brag on my team. The last game we won 9-0 but the other team was getting lots of good hits. Their previous game they had 1 hr, 2 triples, 5 doubles so we knew going in they'd be hitting the ball.
Got into a bases loaded no out situation and were like - if we can get out of this with only a few runs that'd be awesome. Grounder - force out at home, then another grounder, double play - inning over.
We had a lot of activity but managed to get out of all bad situations.
Super proud of what DD did and how the team did as well.
It's always interesting when you go against teams that this is the end of their season and it's just beginning for us. All teams we played were from other states.
