DD sent me this picture from this weekend’s games. I’m not mentally prepared for this being her final college season but love that one of the dads captured this moment
Thankful for all the years of softball leading up to today and even more thankful that she’s playing a 5th year while in grad school next year.
Could not be any prouder of this kid who is graduating with honors & Magna Cum Laude while working and playing softball and taking grad classes as...
DD’s college team was playing Sunday. 1-1 tie at the end of regulation.
We’re the away team, score a run and the home team comes to bat.
A passed ball moves the runner on 2nd to 3rd. Batter hits a loooong fly ball to deep center (my kid) and it looks like she’s never going to get there in...
This was definitely a challenging season for many reasons, Covid, some players not on campus and not playing because of Covid, injuries, and some personal family issues but she held it together and made Second team all conference again.
She led the team in a bunch of categories and led the...
I just commented the other day that DD was about 2 years in to her Ghost and everything was good. She sent me a picture last night, nice crack in it. On a positive note, she doesn’t usually 2 years before she breaks them, it usually happens about 6 weeks after the warranty runs out
Unfortunately no spectators so I’ll be live streaming from home but I’m so happy they get to have a season.
she also decided today that she’s doing a Masters in 5 program and hopes to play an additional year.
Led the team in batting average, OBP, and runs scored
1st in the conference for stolen bases
2nd in the conference for OBP
5th in the conference for batting average
Rookie of the week twice and 2nd team all-conference.
I’m so proud of this kid both on and off the field this year. Not a bad...
DD just found out she received Rookie of the week for her conference.
I’m so proud of this kid for earning a starting spot on a squad of 18 kids with a total of 9 freshmen. She’s leading the team in most categories, batting lead off and playing CF.
I’m so excited for her and what the...
Got to watch some of DD’s spring training in FL this week. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the season has to bring. DD was able to start all 10 games, playing her primary position and batting lead off.
The team ended up 4-6 on the week but on a team with 9 freshmen there was a decent...
DD’s high school team has been largely made up of girls she’s played with forever. This years team was a group of girls who won 10U Eastern Nationals together 7 years ago.
They’ve made the post season every year, being sectional champs and sectional runner ups but this year they brought it...
Could not be any prouder of how hard she has worked to make this happen. Now to get the application going. Seems like just yesterday she was picking daisies in the outfield.
DD is a junior in HS, last season and all summer she was hitting the ball closer and closer to the fence, had hit a few over during practice and bounced a few over during games. Today was the last scrimmage before the season opener and she launched one over the centerfield fence.
Never seen...
DD hit her first ball over the fence. A big accomplishment for my 5'4" 110 lb kid.
Special thanks to Coresoftball for the great price on the Xeno that she was using when she hit it.
she doesn't like it.
We had to buy her a new bat when the LXT broke because it was going to be quite a while for a replacement. Got her a 2015 Xeno because she had been using a high school teammates bat after hers broke. Hitting and slapping great with the Xeno. 8 weeks later we get the...
