NOWLIN: 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.
