Rain Drops Keep Falling On My Head

And they're also falling on every softball in the tri-county area.. which is making things kinda difficult for our conference games that were supposed to be last week since it's sunday currently raining, tomorrow's double header against Horicon. So God willing the waters will subside for our upcoming games

A not-so Welcome home

Last night was bittersweet for me and on doubt for others to. We faced off against Campbellsport which is mine and Kelly Helsel's hometown, and two years ago Campbelllsport knocked us out of regionals. so there was plenty of excitement for the game.
We got a run in the first inning when Kelly (Seibel) hit a triple and then scored on a bad throw. Emu started as our pitcher, and it was in the bottom of the first inning when Campbellsport came back and scored three of their four runs runs.
All in all the hits just weren't coming out for us, when we did hit well, it went right to the fielder. leaving us with Kelly's triple as our one truly good hit for the night.
Campbellsport scored another run in the bottom of the fourth, making our final score 4-1 the victory being C-port's.
sitting on the sidelines somehow made it feel even more painful for Kelly H. and I.. but one of the greatest things about this softball season, is we have like twelve games (at least) left to make it all better and there is so much that we've learned from this loss. plus it's nonconference so it's no biggy

And a note for games of the week of April 20-24... I'm in florida so i'll only be able to reciprocate the reporter's story.. Sorry for the inconvenience

Running Home for a Delightful Evening

Last Night we played against Lomira who were 1-0 in conference after their late victory over North Fond Du Lac. SO we were pretty pumped since at the moment we were 1-0 also and were looking to add our status to 2-0.. Which as of 6 o'clock yesterday, we are!!

After Karen worked her magic on the mound. The hitting parade started off with Emily Muche and Kelly Seibel getting on base and then Steph Kramer was up, she hit a rocket out past center field to drive a 3 run HOMERUN. Then a few batters later Molly Sippel had two runners on and also cranked herself a 3 run HOMERUN.

The next time up Molly hit another home run- this time a 2 run HOMERUN (This was Molly's Third homerun EVER)

In the Third it was 15-0 and we figured we were done, but the umpires decided to give lomira one more chance at hitting, which turned into nothing except that Karen walked two girls.

The First Bite Never Tasted So Sweet

Last nite we faced off Springs in our first conference game of the season, but not before we hit up Subway for some food... Emily lead it off on the mound pitching for five innings with a total of nine strikeouts and she also had an awesome line drive catch. Courtney was amazing at the plate, although she only had two hits in the seventh we were all sure that ball was outta here, but the wind got the best of it and it literally stopped in mid air and dropped into the outfielder's glove. AK!!! anywho when it came to hits; Karen also had two awesome rips. According to Springs they had 9 errors and they had four sloppy innings against us, but i guess whatever they say-- i think it may have been our skills too.. What i found which left me awe struck was how their coach literally yelled at them from the third base line when they were batting, can you say 'anger management'????
Well anyways, Karen came in the sixth inning to close the game, six batters later it was game over. Way to be.. in the word's of Westphal "Well we're 1-0, and you gotta be 1-0 before you can be 14-0"

A double scoop of AWESOME

Uh yea cheesy... Anywho hey ya'll so i've got the awesome scoop about our double header, (Sweep, Sweep, Sweep) The first game Karen worked her magic, but the umpire must've not liked us, because K SexyDubs(Emphasis on the Sex) was pumping out strikes left and right(and up and down ;p) but the ump wasn't keen on calling them strikes but he did graciously call 5 strikeouts but that was counteracted on the fact that he called 4 walks and way too many strikes balls grrr... oh well..... then we just got our sticks going in the second inning and kept those going to the end.. which i got really lucky cause i nailed one like two feet foul and the umpire called it fair... Victory was so sweet after yesterday.. Finished it up at 8-2 Erin(2RBI), Courtney(3RBI), and I(1RBI) each had two hits each, kelly Seibel had a triple, and karen knocked a double as well.

Emily (When i say "E" You say "Mu"= "E" "Mu") pitch the second game which was determined to be a 5 inning game due to weather conditions (Even though it was "65 Degrees"). And with the change of empires we had a slight change of strikezone but not much, but it was mysterious that some strikes he called had been called balls by the prior umpire.. again grr... Howards grove scored two runs in the first innig but that was it, we scored in the second, third, and fourth innings to grasp the win. Alysha batted in an RBI with her fielder's choice, Molly earned her RBI with her groundout, and Emily drove Karen in off a hard hit that the 3rd basemen mishandled. Final Score 3-2

Thank You for Seconds

Round Two came about with an even greater sting-- it was cold and really close.... for you who don't know we played Oakfield. last year it ended the season abruptly and this year it began the season with an abrupt lesson- we've got to step up our game for sure if we truly wanna live up to our potential.
It was looking glum at the top of the seventh we were down 0-1 and had one out.. something needed to happen FAST or we were going home with another no run game against Oakfield, but Karen Woldt hit single which was quickly followed by a rocketing home run between left and center by Courtney Georg (Way to be Girl!!) and then it was Oakfield's turn, they had one runner on first and with one crack of the bat another home run was sent into left and was all the way to the fence before it stopped.. and that was it in 5 mins it turned from yelling and screaming for joy to that same gut sinking turmoil.. so oakfield thanks but no thanks for the seconds and i didn like the taste of its bitter humble pie
