Softball game #3

We had another early game tonight- and it went extremely well! Highlights are as follows:

  • ** McKynna pitched the first inning and no runs were made! YEAHHHHH! She did really good considering its her first season playing and she didn't even know she was going to have to pitch!
  • ** Kwynn hit a grounder into the outfield and did outstanding!
  • ** Kwynn played first base - YEAH! finally something other than outfield!
  • **McKynna made a run for her team and which helped them win 10-0 (there is a 5 run mercy rule per inning- which is good because I think it could have become brutal!) Kwynn would make it to base but couldn't make it home because they already had 5 runs- bummer! Hopefully she'll score next game!

It was a beautiful night...perfect for a game of softball.




Here's a pic of McKynna on first base









The girls and I went to our neighborhood park yesterday evening and practiced batting and catching. Kwynn found her comfort spot and has become a real slugger. McKynna can catch pop flies like no one else! She got me out 4 times last night when I was hitting balls to them! I was really worried they would become overwhelmed because they haven't played before and the other girls are more experienced. But I think the extra practice last night and their superb win today really pumped up their spirits! Maybe we'll head out and practice again Thursday...

I had a small mormon world moment today - there's a girl in my new ward in CO from North Platte. Her name is Becca and she knew you (and several other GI people)! Crazy!
