Go D-Backs

Our family got to see one of the final D-back games before Post Season begins.  We were in the Bud suite with family and friends.  It was a great game and we had a fun time.

Fever does it again

Taylor played in another tournament, local this time, and they won.    Taylor had a great weekend, and her hitting was on fire, with several singles, a double, triple and a couple great sacrafice bunts.   She had two hit the fence, next time they will be over, I have all the confidence in her!!    Hopefully Tad will get to see her play.  He was out of town for this tournament.

Applauding the other team getting their second place awards.

 Great job Taylor!

 Great job Fever!!

Away meet at Apollo

Tatum had her first dive meet today at Apollo High School.    Our school won but I don't know the scores or how they even do the scoring.    Tatum got 3rd and we are so proud of her.

Softball in San Diego

Taylor is now on Fever Gold and their first tournament was in San Diego.  I was so glad we weren't playing in a local tournament since the temperatures are still 107 plus.   San Diego on the other hand was 76 for high.  

Friday morning we headed to Sea World and spent the day there.  We hadn't been in over 5 years so it was fun to see the shows and all the sea life.  It was a beautiful day.

The tournament started Saturday night for pool play and they played 3 games and won all three.  Sunday was the tournament and we played the first two games and won and had a 2 game break.   The team we played next came back from the losers bracket.    In the 7th inning we were down by two.   We have two on with one out.  Tori Pogue (a good friend of Taylors) was up and I was praying she got a hit otherwise there would be two outs and Taylor would be up.  No such luck.. Taylor is up and I am so nervous for her.  If we lose we play the team again.   Taylor gets a great double and we score two, now were tied.   The team goes into the 8th inning with international rules where the last girl out starts on second base.  Taylor is pitching and strikes out two and the other hits it to Molly (second baseman).   Three outs and were up.   We have our girl on second base and the first batter up hits a great hit and we score.   It was a very exciting first tournament with this team and we are looking forward to a great season.

Monday morning we weren't in any hurry to get home to the heat so we met our friends at the beach and then got pizza and went to the park to eat it.    We love hanging out with the Lees!!   We did miss Tatum and Tad.   Tatum couldn't miss school Friday or practice on Monday since she has a meet on Tuesday.

Intersquad Dive Meet

Today after school Tatum had her first dive meet.  It was just an inter squad meet amongst the team but it was the very first meet for her and for us as well.   Tatum has never done dive until school started, so with only 2 1/2 weeks of practice she did great!  

One of her dives

So proud of you Tatum for trying something new.   You have done so well in 3 weeks, can't wait to see where your at by the end of the season!!
