this week i am off to Colorado for a softball tournament!!! this is also going to be my vacation so i am going to have to make it last. this is the farthest i have ever gone for a tournament and i am really excited!!! after our first day of playing( Tuesday) we are going white water rafting. that is going to be so much fun!!!!! we went white water rafting last year but we had to go on the slow ones but this year we are going on the more exciting ones, i hope i don't fall out cuz the water is FREEZING!!!! all of my softball friends are like counting down the days until we go, that's how excited we are!!!!!!

i'll tell you more about it when i get back....

heartland showcase

the heartland showcase was the name of the tournament that i just played in this weekend. there were only 5 teams so the worst we could have gotten was 5th place, but we got better...... we got 2nd place. we lost by 1 run in the championship game. it was soooo close. we were down by 1 in the last inning and then we had a runner at 3rd and i was up to bat. the catcher had an over throw that went over the 3rd baseman's head and the girl at 3rd just stood on the base when our coach was telling her to go home. but then it was to late to go so she was stuck at third base. i was soooo pressured cuz i thought it was the last inning and i just hit a ground ball right to third base and she got me out at first. but the umpire said there was another inning we could play and then the other team got 2 more runs and we were now down by 3 runs. we were home team so we got to hit again...... and we actually got 2 more runs and we were only down by 1 again. it would have been tied if the umpire wouldn't have made a terrible call that lost us that tieing run. we were sooo disappointed that we lost. and the other team did not really deserve to win because when our pitcher was trying to pitch they were banging on the fence screaming AHHHHHHH trying to distract our pitcher........... and they were making fun of us and one girl gave my teammate a nasty look when we were saying good game....... but i guess there is still nationals and the Colorado tournament.... i will keep you updated.

Results

well about that tournament...... we didnt win but we played really good. our coach was really happy with us which is a good thing that doesnt happen a lot. :-)

i am really happy how we played too. and we have a tournament this weekend i plan to win....... well i will keep you updated.................. :-)

new tournament

yay!!!! i am so happy. i am in a tournament right now and i am so excited!!!!! it is really intense!!! we might possibly win this tournament.......
on friday night we played a team that was very good and lost big time...... but we really should have gotten closer to winning then we did. then on saturday we played 2 games in the morning( mid day) and won both of them!!!!! we played really good, but then since we were winning we played the other team that had won a lot too, and yeah it was the team we played friday night....

we started off really great... and only let like 2 runs to score, and then we got 2 runs too!!! by the end of the game the score was 3 to 5 and we were only down by 2 runs..... we had girls on 2nd base and 3rd with 2 outs........... and our batter had 2 strikes and she swung and missed the last pitch, and we lost by 2 runs......... it was sad but we did play really well so we were happy.

today we play the teams we beat yesterday and then we go to the championship and then i am pretty sure we are gonna play the team that beat us, and this time we are gonna beat them and win!!!!!!!! i really hope!!!!!!!!! so wish me luck, we play today at 3:30. i am soo excited...... i will post later on what the outcome was.
