Played under the lights tonight! Lost to S. Huntington Beach 11 to 1 but it was actually the girls best game of the season. Some good hits and some good fielding.
Ellie saw action at 2nd, catcher, and left center.
One at bat tonight w/ a K - but she at least fouled one off.
Ellie kept the game moving along behind the dish.
Ellie's friend Jacob Weitzman back from Child Time was there with watching her sister. So great that they stayed and cheered Ellie on!
Next game Saturday at 3:00 against Scripps Ranch!

In the Saturday game the Ladies in Tiel lost a nail bitter 6 to 5 to Scripps Ranch. They actually had the lead, for the first time all season, but just couldn't hang on. They had a couple opportunities that could have won them the game but just couldn't capitalize at a few key moment.
Ellie striking out with the bases jammed..........
Ellie working hard behind the plate:
Next game Sunday morning at 8:00 - against Carlsbad.
*******
Early start today as we arrived at the ballpark around quarter to 7 to face-off against Carlsbad. Lost something on the order of 10 to 5 but the Blades made it interesting. Probably Ellie's best game as she FINALLY made contact (was thrown out at first) but got two RBIs.
The next girl was hit by a pitch and so they brought Ellie in to pinch run and was able to steal second.
Once again she was behind the plate - for a girl who had never caught she was the teams best catcher.
Thanks GJ for making it to all three games this weekend!!!
Well that is a wrap on softball folks. The blades didn't win a game but they made some real progress and sure had a lot of spirit.
Not sure what we are going to do with all our free time now.
Until next season!
I really enjoyed watching all 3 games, even the early one!!!! By that last game, the team really seemed to gel. Ellie did a great job! So proud of her!!!
