2 days of softball. The next 2 da.ys to come

What else would I rather do, than play softball for 4 days straight? The answer? Absolutely Nothing haha :)

These past 4 days have been absolutely AMAZING.

Saturday we played the Porterville Magic (yes, AGAIN). Honestly, I am sooo sick of playing them. But anyways, we started off well and we were up 5-1 at the bottom of the 7th. We made some crucial defensive errors (including me) that allowed them to tie it up 5-5. We got 2 outs with a runner on third. Which in my opinion was thier best player. She tried to delay steal, but was called out. We got SUPER lucky, because she was probably safe. But the umpire ruled otherwise (which is nice sometimes). The first base coach went absolutely BALISTIC and went off the wall!! He was in the umpires face and cussing up a storm. And meanwhile we had already cheered and were ready to shake hands. But they werent haha. Their player was still sitting on home plate! The call was never overturned which meant we tied :) Very interesting end to that game.

Next we played the Dinuba tribes. Nothing to exciting in this game, except that we won 8-2.

Then we had to play Cal Stars. Which was the team that Coach Tammy was coaching, in which she took Tiffany to play with them, instead of us. But whatever. We won. 2-0. and I even caught Jackie, and I threw out Tiff trying to steal haha. And Jackie struck her out too.

Team party was pretty bomb.com. I was really looking forward to Sunday even though we had to play at 8, which meant I had to leave the house at 6:30. We got to wear yellow ribbons in our hair (for childhood cancer) and we put 8 on everyone’s arm, for Noey. It was awesome :)

Sunday was just SO FUN!!

We ended up the 4 seed even though we went 2-0-1. But it worked out for the better.

We played the 5 seed which was the Bakersfield Heat Wave. Honestly, I was a little intimidated. They were well put together and all. But that doesn’t mean anything to me anymore haha. Jessie knocked thier pitcher out of the game, literally, with a line drive to the girl’s knee (ouch). And we just tee-ed off the other girl they brought in. It was pretty awesome. Even considering it was like 100 degrees at 8 am. (YUCK)!!!

We ended up winning, which meant we didnt play till 12:30 and we had to play the number 1 seed... Again. I was proven wrong, about the whole intimidation thing. haha.

This game was just undescribable.

It all started with the 1st pitch. Jessie hit a line drive to the 3rd baseman, who barely caught it (she had to jump pretty high and still barely caught it) Then Darin saw that she had a first baseman’s glove on. (Which is illegal)

So, anyways, the umpires gathered and called Jessie safe. And on top of that the girl had to get another glove.

That SOOO pissed off their coach. He flew out of the dugout screaming things and arguing. He then wanted to protest. REMEBER, IT IS THE 1ST PITCH!!!
But we didn’t worry about him. We played our game and we played AWESOME. We killed them :)

Then, guess who was waiting for us at the Championship game? Yep, the stupid Porterville Magic.

Kayla and I did something different this game. We went up to the lefty batters box and we drew “Noey 8” in the dirt. We knew she was there with us, even if she wasn’t there in person. It felt right.

Anyways, we played a tough game and it was tied 1-1 up until the last inning. In the top of whatever inning it was we scored 2 runs!!! So then it was 3-1 in the bottom of the same/last inning. We got 1 out easily. Then the little shortstop got up to the plate. She was the hardest out of the whole game. But in the end Jackie struck her out (which was the best part). Then the next girl gets up and hits a homer. (Greeeaaattt) So, know its 3-2 with 2 outs. Next girl was 0-fer all day and I felt confident we were going to do okay. 1 strike. 2 strikes. Wow. What next? She swings and misses. Best sight EVER!!! Then we just went crazy!!!

CBU camp is going to have to wait. This blog is already long, and I have SOOO much to talk about.

Oh, and I got to give a shout out to one of the best people I have ever met. This is for you Dannyell. Who I recently got started on blogspot. I love that girl. :) See you when I get home :)

Love Always,
Baby Becca
