DD doesn't play TB - she's still doing 14U rec. One of her friend's team had need for a pickup this weekend and she actually said she'd do it. The coach's daughter had broken her ankle so they needed an outfielder. So we get there on Saturday and one of the other girls had hit her head the day before and it turned out she had a hairline fracture in her skull - so she had to be taken to the hospital - she did end up coming to the games but after playing one inning - they figured there was something more wrong (she had only complained about a headache the day before). She was their SS so DD ended up playing SS for them.
They had enough to play but just enough - no one sat since they only had 9. DD ended up batting 7/11 with a triple. They lost two of their pool games and won one which put them as 3rd in their pool. The tournament then split the 3 pools into two brackets and we ended up with a bye for the first round and a win would put us in the championship. There were only 6 in our bracket.
Ended up winning the first bracket game and then were down in the championship game but came back and then were able to hold them to win 7-5. First tournament win for this team and of course for DD (she had played TB last spring but they didn't do very well). Now DD is actually saying she likes this team and the coach has expressed interest in her - esp since their starting SS is out for the season. She might play again with them next weekend! It's a big decision for her because if she plays more than one TB tournament she is not eligible for rec All-Stars :/
