Softball is All the Rage


Remember the excitement of high school softball season ending?  Hmm, well all during high school ball Abigail was also practicing twice a week with her tournament team, Rage.  As a general rule, high school coaches don't want their players competing with other teams, mostly for fear of injury.  But, players can do conditioning practice with another team if they are not actually playing games.  


From late August until the first of May Abigail practiced about eight hours per week with Rage.  Now that the softball season has ended, Rage can begin competing in tournaments with other select tournament teams.  Today the girl had four games each an hour and a half long in a tournament in Ft. Forth.  At the end of the day the girls will find out where they placed and will play one or two additional games tomorrow afternoon.  

The girls played well, they are still getting used to playing as a team, but they are shaping up to be real contenders.  Abigail had some good hits and caught for two of the games, she and the other catcher, Abbie took turns.  Abbie and Abigail have played ball with since they were elementary age together playing on the Blue Crush. 


Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
