Great Game Gretchen




So Monday they had another game and this one went into extra innings because they were tied, there is more to that story, but I won't let my bitterness come out here, I am focusing on the postive game my Gretchen had. First some background, there is something like 15 girls on the team this year, not enough for 2 teams and some extras for 1 team. And this is the first league of softball, before this year they play t-ball mixed league to get some basics. This year they are still doing some basics, but they seperate girls to softball and boys to baseball. Still wanting them to play the positions to get a feel for each of them and to see what they are better at and like. Gretchen got to play outfield tonight, but spent most of her game on 3rd base. And she was the teams MVP tonight, at least in my mind. She was rocking it and getting everyone out on 3rd. Basically if they got to 2nd and had to face Frock they were out if they could get the ball to her. I think it was 2 innings she got the majority of the outs. One inning all 3 outs!! And mind you they only play 4-5 innings and have to set out at least one inning. So when they went into extra innings guess who got 3rd base, that is right Frock! They did end up losing the game, but Gretchen and the rest of her team played hard and didn't go down without a fight! Even walking to the car after the game the asst. coach said I think we found a 3rd baseman tonight and I have to agree! Plus she got a hit every time and only got out at 1st one time tonight. And yes, I am aware I am showing her as catcher, but I could not get a good pic on 3rd base. See the cute socks!
