Not really DD but her rec team...
First game of the season back in early Sept we played the second team in our association. They have two really good pitchers (one pitches for a 14U TB team even though the rec teams are 12U) and they have pretty decent fielders/hitters as well. So the first game we lost 3-14 - we have run limits per inning and they got the limit each inning - we never got 3 outs on them. DD and her friend were two of the only hits that game.
Last night we played them again. We still have a lot of girls on this team that struggle with catching the ball or lots of strike outs and if it's hit to the outfield - there's really no one out there that can catch it.
But..finally got our bats going and made some decent outs. Actually were tied at 7-7 going into the 5th. And that's only because one of our best hitters hit a line drive right at 3rd (that would have put us up) - they wanted to walk her since her previous two hits were a triple and in-the-park HR..
The other team was able to get a walk-off to win it but super proud of them for such an improvement. And DD and her friend - both went 0-2 and 0-3...:/
