Maci has got hit more that she has had the opportunity to hit the ball and if she wasn't hit she was walked. She was disappointed that she was only able to get a few hits in. This is her second year playing peewee ball and she loves it.
When these girls showed up to play she played amazing and would win and have a great lead but it seems like they just couldn't get it together in the end.
She played second base this year. She caught some good pop fly's.
At the end of the season they have a tournament and who ever is number 1 in the season is #1 seed and so on and so on. It was a crazy week this week. The tournament started Thursday, so Maci's team played Thursday and then we had to play Friday and we won that one so we advanced to Saturdays bracket and we won our first game Saturday so all we needed to do was win one more game and we would be in the championship game. We couldn't get it together that game and we lost but all in all I am so proud of these girls.
Mauri ended up getting the hang of pitch hitting instead of a tball and in the first game she hit every single time she was up to bat and would get triples and doubles along with some singles and she has been on a roll ever since. Its crazy because some of the rest of them were like Mauri and at practice having trouble but they all ended up being hitters and I can say every single girl on our team can hit the ball and get on base. Our Coach's motto is "Girls if we hit the ball we win" and that's what they do and it shows because we have won every single game but 1. Some of the girls on our team even got homeruns.
I am so glad my kids took after their Daddy when it comes to running because I can't run.
Mauri Laken on the run she loved when she could keep on going.
Yes third base wasn't on the 3/4th grade this team had 5th graders and we beat them whoopwhoop
Mauri also played second base and loved it. She would hustle and get the ball then throw to first to make an out. She loved playing a new position. She has always played first and pitcher.
Mauri Laken won all of their games so now the moved on to the Championship game. The funniest thing about this is that her cousin goes to another school and is in the same PeeWee ball schedule and we all figured that it would come down to her and Mauri in the Championship game. Well what do you know it came down to it.
Our girls so excited to be moving on to the Championship game
The game was the best game all year not because it was the Championship game but because of the way it went down and it was so close and exciting. we play 5innings. It started out and in the first inning we were down 6-2 but after that we got our stuff together and before we knew it we were up 14-6 then in the 4th inning they started to catch up and in the bottom of the 5th it was 14-12. They had last bat so we were so nervous and it ended up being 14-15. We lost but it was so close and we played a good game.

Coach Nelson, Coach Kevin, and Mauri Laken
They got runner-up 2nd place and we couldn't be more proud
Mamaw had to cheer on both of her precious grandbabies in the game. She was divided lol
These girls and Coaches had an awesome year and I know Mauri Laken will never forget her first year as a Lady Spartan.
Also that day our PVA boys were playing and when we didn't have a game we would watch the boys. Our little boys lost out that morning but the 5/6 boys won and it came down to the last game but they couldn't pull it through. They ended up coming in second place.

Zane didn't want to play t-ball this year. I will miss all that action we had last spring! It has worked out though since now I am sick.
ReplyDeleteI am glad they had an amazing time playing.
