Opening Day! Mallory's First Official Softball Game!

We had a fun and exciting first game/opening day. Our team, the Comets had a lot of spunk and spirit, and they made a few really nice plays out on the field. They also got a few very good hits in. I was very proud of our pitchers too, they are working on everything another mom and I have told them to do. Mallory played third base, and got in a good play where she got the ball and helped get an out. She also learned that sometimes you have to wait for someone on the other team to hit the ball and that can sometimes be boring. She got a really good hit in, and ran to first with a very excited look on her face. It all happened so fast, and being the first game we coached, we were so concerned about everything that we didn't get a picture of it, but we will work on getting good pictures again at the next game. Here are some fun pictures we got!



It was a nice day in the low 60's, although when we were getting ready to take the field, we had the girls run a bit because they were a little cold.

In the dugout, they had fun cheering for their batter and waiting for their turn in the lineup.
In the foreground and smiling at the camera is our "budding Jenny Finch." She did an awesome job pitching her very first game!
On the field and ready for defense!

Hustling in after a third out! GO COMETS!!!! The final score was O-O, so we tied. Can't wait till our next game!!!

ps- This evening, Mallory was still wearing her uniform and not wanting to take it off to take a shower. She said "No, I love it, it's comfy!"
