Alyssa the most AWESOME pitcher!

Alyssa did so great this year!!! Her pitching has come a long way. She started off the season pretty rough. I think one of the first games she hit four batters in a row! " They just need to move out of the way faster" That was her comment afterwards. She pitched a lot of games this year. We only had about 3 girls that could be consisstant. So lots of pitches for her!
Her best game was the last game of the year. We won our first round in the end-of-year tournement against Big Rock. Our next game was against Shabbona.
The girls did so AWESOME! Alyssa pitched great! She had 13 strikouts for that game! Most of the innings were 3 up 3 down too. We lost by one in the last inning. It was a heartbreaker!
Alyssa was pretty upset too. She took it really hard. But it truly was a great game.
The Saturday after that game the coach from the older league called and wanted Alyssa to play on the All-Star team in Grand Ridge. So she got to play up with the older girls. She absoultly loved it! She also pitched for them too. And she did a really good job. She struck out 7 in her first game! They got 4th place in the Grand Ridge tournement.
Little did we know that they were going to play in another tournement the next week in Marsailles. Alyssa again pitched and played outfield. They also got to play under the lights. Some of the games didn't start until 8pm. So it was very late nights and sometimes 3 games on Saturday! So it was a crazy summer and softball is finally over and I can finally take the equipment out of the back of my car and vaccuum it out!
