Another Winning Weekend

Danielle's team lost both games today but came in 2nd place in this weekend's double elimination tournament. Danielle pitched all 6 innings in the first game and was catcher for the entire second game. She did a great job today.

The ump made a couple really bad calls, and honestly it cost us the win in the second game, where we lost by 1 run. Softball is so full of life lessons, though, and this was just another chance to learn and refine character. Too bad some of the angry dads (not Ron) didn't do a better job of learning those life lessons when they were younger!

I really appreciated Danielle's coach this weekend. I feel like Danielle often gets overlooked on her travel team because she's a good team player and doesn't complain or have an attitude about where she plays. She's playing for a different coach on this team, and he went out of his way several times to compliment & praise her. He was great during the games and even called and texted afterward to tell Danielle what a great job she did. It was very encouraging. It was a great weekend of softball.
