June 5: Sparks VS Mystics

Rained out AGAIN! Are we ever going to play this team?

Well, it was a good news, bad news kind of night.

The bad news, of course, is that we are losing Esther for the rest of the season, because her family is moving away. Personally, I'm sad to see her go. She's a great person, and a pretty amazing player, especially considering that she's never played before! We will all miss Leftie!

The good news was that you all got a free shower. Okay, okay. that's not really the good news. The good news is, even though we didn't finish the game, you were again playing very well together.

Taylor once again pitched a shutout first inning, allowing no hits. Once we were up to bat, Carly, Jordan, and Katie all made solid contact with the ball, and Jenna hit her first double of the season, driving in Allie for an RBI, and the only run scored by either team in the first inning.

Jenna pitched well again in the second inning, walking only two, and allowing only two hits.
However... and this is the only issue we had in the game... we HAVE to limit our throws to two. We gave up a 'home run' on a ball that should have been a single, because we broke our 'rule.'

Even with that crazy play, you held the other team to 4 runs in two innings, and that is excellent. Esther made a very smart play in left field, throwing to Kelly at third, where Kelly tagged the runner for an out. We cannot forget Jordan's awesome catch of a fly ball in right field, either! Super plays!!

All in all, I am so proud of the way you are playing!
