Day 54, Games vs. Söder

Today we had a double header against Söder, based out of Stockholm. We had to win both games in order to be a shoo-in for the semi-finals, and WE WON both games! YAY! 


We run ruled them in both games after the 5th inning... the first game 10-0, and the second game 15-5. I was the winning run in the 2nd game, and right before I scored I hit a line drive into the center fielder's mouth! :( I felt so bad because she was like maybe 15 yrs old and she had a huge, bloody lip! But as I was standing on 2nd waiting for them to clean her up and everything, the umpire behind the plate came up to me and said "you're the winning run.... don't screw it up." HAHAHA. So the girl after me hit a double and I scored, and as he was leaving he walked by me and said "thanks." 


I played short shop both games and had a few ground balls hit to me, a pop fly that I caught, a line drive over my head that I jumped and caught, and a diving stop.. couldn't get the girl out on that one because I dove almost in the grass because it got by third base. 


My hits weren't all that great today. I had 8 at bats and besides my last line drive hit to the center fielder's face, they were ALL  pop-ups. However, one would have been over the fence in a regular field, but I got a triple out of it because it was so far, and a few of the other ones weren't touched before hitting the ground so I think they'll be counted as hits. 


The team has improved SO much! I'm so proud of them! Every pop fly that got hit today was caught by our defense and that is saying A LOT! The girl playing 3rd for us even dove on her knees to catch a pop fly! I was so proud :) 


Anyways, after biking back home after the game, I skyped with Mom, Dad, Uncle Chris, Khin, and Papa (all at once), showered, and had a snack. Then I dozed off for a little while in my bed, and My came and got me asking if I wanted some dinner, so I had a small portion of mashed potatoes and then made a big salad with 2 boiled eggs cut up in it. 


Around 8 My, Kenny (Fanny's boyfriend), and I went to the big grocery store to buy groceries for our games tomorrow and bought pizza stuff for Karin and Micke.... Karin had been having chest pains all day and it got to the point where she couldn't raise her arm, so they finally went to the hospital and had a lot of blood work done, but everything turned out fine.. they said it's something with her muscle. 


So I just made my sandwich for lunch in between games tomorrow, packed a bag full of grapes, apples, and cherries, and have my bag of mixed nuts that I bought tonight. We are leaving at 5:30 AM for the games and I have to drive one of the cars!! I am having A LOT of coffee in the morning and taking a lot with me! 


So that's all my news for today... I'm going to TRY and get to bed early tonight since I have to wake up in less than 8 hrs as it is already... wish us luck for tomorrow! :)
