First all-star game

Kinzie's team got C R E A M E D !

25-0

Kinzie is one of the best hitters and he batted her 8th. so, she only got up to bat once.

She doesn't miss fly balls in the outfield, so she played center field the first two innings.

But, there were critical plays at !st base that were missed because she wasn't there.

She played 1st base 3rd and 4th innings which allowed our catcher to try to pick off some of the runners. (Kinzie will catch her throws and the other girl who plays 1st base won't.)

Most of our girls struck out. There was no reason for it, they just did.

Our 2nd pitcher walked nearly their whole team. It was embarrassing. She has no form for pitching, and it's frustrating to watch her struggle to get the balls all the way to home plate.

Our first two innings of the game were played on the wrong field ! The girls were pitching from the Juniors( 13 yr olds) pitch plate which is 3 feet further than the 12 yr old pitch plate. When they realized their mistake, they moved our game to another field.

My green team's short stop caught a fly ball while she was playing left field today. Then she hucked it to 2nd base to get a double play ! Most of the good plays were by the girls that played for me. ! ! !

Kinz doesn't play until Wed. again. Hunter plays tomorrow  (Tuesday) against the other 10 yr old washington team.
