Wow....what a game!!!

Of course, we've been busy with the softball season. The girls have had 3 games so far and one rain out (which has already been rescheduled). They are doing so well!! Our first game was against another Moody team (Cherry) and we won 10-4!!! We had played them during the preseason tournament and lost so this was a sweet win :o) Our next game was against Courtney's fall ball coach - we hadn't practice since the first game (which was 4 days in between) and our rain out game was the night before so unfortunately we lost :o(. We ended up having practice with a few girls on Sunday late morning.

We then had a game last night against another Moody team (Holcomb) which went to the finals in the preseason tournament. They have won against us in practice games. It was a very intense game. We were the home team and kept them from scoring in the top of the first ending. We were up at the end of the first. Then all of a sudden we got down 6 to 1! During the bottom of the 3rd - the bases were loaded and Courtney was up to bat.

GUESS WHAT..............




GRAND SLAM BABY!!

I am so proud of Courtney!! As soon as she slid into homebase, we walked towards each other (I was the 1st base coach) and I lifted her up in the air! It was one of the most proudest sports moments I've ever had with her! She is on cloud 9 and on a personal high :o) We ended up winning the game 10-8 and the girls are so happy. Also during the game, Courtney got 2 of their best runners out on 2nd base - it was sure her night!! A mom from the other team ended up giving Courtney $10 after the game for her grand slam. Both her daughter and Courtney were on the same ball team in fall and I would always tell her daugther that I would give her $10 if she hit it to the fence. She did once for me and I paid up. I never thought it would go reverse especially being on different teams. Half of the fall ball team is on Courtney's team now and the other half on Holcomb's team. It's difficult to not cheer for those girls when we are playing them but we do support them in every game :o)

On another note, CJ just got the all clear from the dr. yesterday for his follow-up. We had to take him a week ago last Friday to the dr. since his cough wasn't going away and nothing was working. He had walking pneumonia! He is all better now and enjoying time at the ball field. He always ask if we are going to practice or play :o) He is one supportive brother!

That's all that's been happening here. We do have games this weekend. Friday night and Saturday late afternoon then again on Monday night. I hope we continue to do such wonderful teamwork!!! We are so proud of these girls! Hope to post pictures soon (when I'm not helping on the field as a coach I can take more pictures).
