Another exciting weekend of softball

Saturday began with Heather's game in New Durham. I went to her game while Heath took the other two to their game. Heather played catcher for 2 innings and did great. She got up to bat and hit the ball strong sending it into the out field. She made it to 3rd base before the team got 3 outs. The next time up to bat she got walked. After 2 innings of catching she played 1st base. In her level if one team is ahead by 10 runs the game is over so at the bottom of the 3rd inning New Durham had 15 and we had only 5 so they called the game. The 3 innings took one and 1/2 hours to play. Julia and Theresa played against Raymond which is a very good team. It was a double header and they lost both games. Today Julia and Theresa had another double header in Lebanon. The team did really well winning both games. The first game was 5-4. They held Lebanon with no runs up until the 7th inning then they brought in 4 runs. It was a very exciting game and the last inning kept us on our toes causing my heart to pound. The Umpire got hit 3 times in the face and thank goodness he had a mask on. He however needs a new mask because they caused him pain each time. The second game was really good as well and kept us at the edge of our seats. There were a lot of foul balls and one of those foul balls broke a window on a SUV. I do not think the driver of that car will park anywhere near a field again. The sad thing is the car was not parked to close to the field. We won the second game as well 12-10. Julia got a hit in and made it to 1st base. She stole to 3rd base. On her way in to home she got tagged out because she did not slide into home. She needs to work on the sliding. Julia says that she is afraid to slide because of her hip. I of course told her that we could bring a screw gun with us to games to screw the screw back in if something happens. Julia did not think that was to funny. Theresa assisted in a few outs during both games also.

It was a great softball filled weekend and will begin again next weekend. Heather has a game on Saturday against Chichester at 2 then Julia has a allstar game against Chichester at 6. Then Julia and Theresa have another double header on Sunday in Epsom against Lebanon again.
