Softball Has Started  

Posted by Johnny



Tonight we had a double header due to the fact that Tuesday's game got rained out. We lost this makes three losses. Not a great start! Tonight Morgan got to play second, center field, catch and pitch. I only have pics of her playing second and up to bat. It got very cold fast so I sat in the van for the second game. Her are a couple cute pics from the game.





I Hate Softball!

Well, I guess HATE is a strong word, but after the game on Wednesday I am starting to think our team will never win. We have one last regular season game this Tuesday. Then we will have at least one more game which is our tournament game. I would love to win one game! This year the season has been so hard. This is John's first year to coach and it is much harder than it looks. I try my best to help, but I am not really that much help. I throw like a girl!
So right now we are 0 - 13 or something like that. We really do have a decent team. All of the girls on our team are so great! I really do enjoy having all of them on the team. I just wish they had a little more drive in them. You know like "The Eye of The Tiger". I guess we (the parents) can want it but they really have to want it or we will end the season with no wins.

Softball Game 4/29

I hate to say this, but this was a terrible game. I felt absolutely heart sick after this game. I really wish I knew what was going through the girls minds. They would just watch the ball hit the ground and then just look at it like they didn't know what to do with it? I would really like to know what happened in between Saturday and tonight. Granted we didn't win Saturday, but at least on Saturday they looked as if they knew how to play. Our pitchers did an awesome job! Our fielding stunk! We actually even hit the ball, we just never it hit it past the pitcher! We definitely need to improve on hitting straight out and not down! Game ended 14-0 OUCH!
We can use a lot of prayers for our team! I really don't mind losing as long as we play well!

Softball Game 4/26

We had our 3rd game today. Our first two games were just udder misery. These girls have practiced for a long time, but just did't look it. So going into today we had already lost two games.
If you don't know much about Babe Ruth Fast pitch Softball, we play with ten players in the field and usually have one or two substitutes to enter in and out. Today we had both of our normal catchers missing so that brought us down to the ten, but no catcher to catch the first pitcher, which is my daughter Morgan. Morgan can always catch after she pitches, but not before, otherwise she will be too tired to pitch. Then we had one girl that did not show up at all. So we were down to nine players! Wow, that made things interesting to say the least. Well, we did not win, but we were actually tied in the fifth inning 5 to 5! Then in the sixth we let them get three more runs, by throwing around the ball. It was a bummer, but our girls finally pulled together and started playing like a team. I was elated to say the least. The team we played was supposedly the team to beat, so if we gave them a run for their money then we may have a chance when the whole team shows up!
