Darby's team hung on to win a game this morning, keeping them alive in the tournament. Darby had a couple of hits (one a double) and two runs scored in the effort. But, having played that noon-ish game (at already 85+ degree heat), and with several of the girls not getting enough rest (in my opinion... I had Darby lay down and watch TV the whole couple-plus hours between the games), the team was clearly pooped-out come the second game, with temperatures in the mid-90s.
It was a shame because in the last tournament they played, they nearly won against the team they played today, but it was clear the other team was more into it this day. Early on in the game, a single mistake on our part was made that permitted four or so runs to come in thereafter (should have been the last out, with no further runs). I suppose it didn't matter, as we only scored one run (it was Darby that scored it after one of her two hits). The opposing team's infield was top-notch and we found it difficult to get past first.
I did get a few decent pics that I added to the album (click on Events, then Softball), which is unusual because I've gotten squat for pictures this season since I've been a first-base coach (I don't thinked they'd be so keen with me bringing a camera onto the field). Today while we were fielding (i.e. not at bat and therefore not in need of a first-base coach) I grabbed the camera every chance I got. The season is almost over and I need some pics for crying out loud.
