After the regular season Ellie tried out for Allstars and made the silver team again (like last year). She was hoping to make the gold team and was initially disappointed and there were some tears etc. but she has embraced it and likes being one of the older more experienced girls on the team. I was asked to be the assistant coach which has been fun.
Through two tournaments we are 2 wins and 4 losses - which is 2 more wins than we had all of last year!! Ellie is spending most of the time at shortstop and is throwing out 1 to 2 girls a game at first.
She is batting third and typically either walks or strikes out. Continues to struggle to consistently put the bat on the ball but we are working on it.
Rancho Roundup Tournament

Here are some pictures (Ellie is #9)
A great play at the plate vs Laguna Niguel- just barley slid under the tag to tie up the game 5 to 5 going into the last inning. 
Softball Ready!

Not sure what we are looking at here but I don't think we agree with the call.
Team bonding
And the San Diego Reifenbergers came up and watched yesterdays game against UC Del Sol. Afterwards we got lunch in San Clemente and walked down to the beach.
More updates to come - three more tournaments left.
