Melissa was on the mound, but our defense stayed home.	When the smoke cleared, we were down 7-0 in the first.





We never overcame that 7 run first.

Kayla was named game MVP by our opponents for her fine defense and hitting.


On Thursday morning, Elaina took the mound.	Michelle and Lauren get ready for a bunt.

Michelle made a diving catch to end the inning and scraped up her knees. You can see why they call her the "Dirty Dozen". (Her number is 12)	When Michelle got into the batters box, the Umpiretold her that she had to get the blood cleaned up, because of the "Magic Johnson rule".
After Michelle got her wounds cleaned up, she ripped a line drive to the fence.	You can see the ball hitting the fence, just under the score board.
By the time they retrieved the ball, Michelle was on third.	The throw nailed Coach Bill in the leg.




We lost another tough one, so we will be facing elimination in our next game. It is time to check for messages. A quote from a Jimmy Buffett song, "Everybody's on the phone, we're so connected, we're all alone."

After the game, most of the team went to Hooters, but	Michael and Will went to the T-Rex Cafe for lunch.

Thursday night, Parents and players met in the parking lot.	Then headed of to see the Kansas City Royals.
