Played our first regular season game on Monday, vs a perennial power. I really was expecting a 3 inning blowout, but our defense played very well overall and the girls lasted 4.5 innings. I think we had 2 errors. The hitting was pretty rough, but there was a bit of contact. DD pitched the last bit of the game.
Last night was game 2, vs a team I've never seen. We started out halfway solid on defense, but things managed to fall apart some and they gradually chipped away at us and although we had a lot more contact, we still just didn't get enough hits strung together to do much damage. Ended up being a 5 inning game. DD pitched the last inning. She batted twice in each game. 2 strikeouts, a walk, and put one in play and was thrown out. She's making a lot of foul contact and such, so I think she'll hit her stride soon.
Brand new kid just about hit one OTF. I believe it was her 4th ever at-bat. I'm expecting moon shots from that kid soon.
Got two games coming up Saturday, then a game monday and tuesday.
