Second Glory Tournament is in the books! Carli pitched against one of the teams that ended up winning the tournament. She did a good job and ultimately this fall is shaping up to be what we were hoping - a good lesson to learn from! Pitching is so mental and Carli needs that experience to grow. She's got good mechanics so she's conquering the mental part of the game and figuring out...sometimes the hard way...that her body is a scoreboard. How she reacts and her body language on the mound will ultimately translate to her teammates and their attitudes about the game.
Her stats for one game...faced 18 batters, 57 pitches with 34 of them being strikes. walked 3 with 4 strikeouts.
Carli only got to pitch one game this tournament and she was disappointed. While we wished she had gotten to pitch more, she did get to play in the field. Her body language in the field ultimately probably helped in the decision in her not pitching another game. It was disappointing and a very hard lesson to learn. But fake it til you make it is not an easy lesson to get the first time! She was disappointed but she got over after a good long talk and came back to cheer on her team and bat EH in the last game of the day. They played 5 games in one day and made some huge steps forward together as a team.
Meanwhile, Ava and Drew spent Friday night with Grammy and Pa so they could go to Eady's 4th birthday party. Ava started the day on a treasure hunt and found lots of cow bones...lucky me, she brought them home! ha!
Apparently Drew just needed a good birthday party to get his appetite back that he had lost this whole last week. Whatever works! He was in little boy heaven getting to see cows, pet them and Logan had A LOT of John Deere tractors to play with! One happy boy to say the least!
A great Saturday for our whole crew! Now we are blessed to get to spend Sunday with our church family. Another perk of one day tournament!
