All Done

Today was Danielle's last softball game of the season and her final game in this age division. She went out on a high note. Her team took 2nd place in the tournament they played in. Danielle was the closer in both games yesterday. She pitched the entire game in our semifinal game today, and she did a great job! We won by a good margin. She got a lot of great game experience pitching over the past couple weeks, and I'm thankful her coach gave her the chance. She played catcher and 2nd in the championship game, which we ended up losing.

Playing with this all-star team was a great experience for her. She was a great leader on the field, and the other girls looked up to her. She always tried her hardest, cheered the loudest, and looked for ways to compliment the other girls. Her coach was quick to give praise and slow to criticize. Although she played over fifty games this season and hasn't gone a week without practices since Christmas, she was fighting back the tears when today's game was over. I couldn't be more proud of her hard work and attitude.
