Day 5

Ok yall, sorry I wasn't able to post about my day yesterday but here it is... 


I had to wake up at 7:30 AM to get ready for my first games in Stockholm. Ingrid and Kelsey picked Wilma and me up at 8:30 AM and then we picked the rest of the girls up at 8:45 AM at a store. We were all able to fit into a big van because a few of the other girls rode with their parents. 


We arrived at the softball field in Stockholm around 10 AM and we all changed into our uniforms in the dugout (yes, that is what they do). We then circled up and played games until it was time to warm-up at 10:45 AM. 


I played 3rd base for the 1st game and was 4th in the line up for both games. I went 4 for 5 hitting in the first game. After the first game, we were able to walk over to some picnic benches by the baseball field and eat our packed lunches while watching the baseball game. My packed my lunch for me. I caught the second game (which I haven't done in, oh, 5 years or so) and went 3 for 5 hitting. I had 2 triples and an in the park homerun! We won the 1st game 13-3, but lost the 2nd game 15-14 in the bottom of the 7th. 


After the games we loaded up the van and drove home, arriving at about 6:15 PM. We all had to shower and then meet up at 7:30 PM at Skolparken, which is a really nice park in downtown Enköping. A culture event was taking place in the park and the team was getting paid to pick up trash after the event. Well, the event didn't end until 10 PM and then we had to stand around and wait in the cold until 11:30 PM for all of the food tents to pack their stuff up so we could pick up after them. It was good bonding time for some of the girls though, and Kelsey and I learned some more words in Swedish! 


After finally getting home (and not having eaten dinner), I made some chocolate milk and ate a few cashews after Skyping with my family, then hit the sack. 


Pictures and videos from yesterday will be uploaded on Facebook as soon as I get some time today :)
