Short tourney ahead?

Darby's softball team started their tournament tonight. And they'd have ended it, too, were it not a double elimination tourney. Darby got a hit and a run scored in the loss, though in my opinion we SO should have won that game. We mostly lost that game on fielding. But in the end, it was the tying run coming in to home that was tagged out. (Though a few parents blame me for not having one more out, since I sent a slow runner from first to second earlier in the last inning. But it was a close call and I was being aggressive because we were down and needed runs.)


The highlight of the game for me, as a parent, was Darby's nab of a well-hit line-drive straight to third that she caught in the air. We really needed that play, and she has missed her last several attempts at pop-flies that weren't hit as hard as this one, so it was awesome to see her come through when the team really needed it. (damn me for not having my camera at the ready)
