After a month of not being able to do much of anything with a thigh injury my DD Chelsea is finally playing again. We had a tough Saturday dropping both games and going into the lower bracket for Sunday. We won our first game on Sunday jumping us back into the Championship bracket for the time being if we can win the second game and get us to a third and Championship game.
Well we fight real hard in an up and down game. We stay ahead for most of the game but the other team is getting onto our pitcher and they start a come back. We are up by 3 heading into the 6th and they load it up and keep scoring one at a time. All tied up with two outs full count. Dang I hate those!!!! We get out of it with a strike out and go to extra innings.
We score 2 in the top of the 7th.
My DD is begging me to put her in. I told her she has not pitched in a month but she is begging me. We have a team meeting for a minute. Everyone agrees they want Chelsea to throw. I told her I would let her throw but if she looks rusty she is out right away. We did practice a little on Saturday and she looked pretty good. I have never seen her as focused as she was on Sunday. She grunted with every pitch and they were all coming in hard and hitting her spots like crazy. Fanned the first two. She walked the third on a questionable change up call but that was OK since it was their power hitter. Fanned the fourth and we were done. I was a proud PAPA.
She needs to practice more now but I think she is back for good now and we have things to work with and her focus is back.
