Willow moved up to the 10U league for softball this year and it was quite a bit different because the girls are used for pitchers. Softball pitching is just crazy to begin with but proved to be difficult to learn for girls in her league so not too many balls were hit off kid pitches (slowing the pace of the game). After 5 pitches, the coach would come in to pitch the last one or two. Willow really enjoyed playing catcher. Strangely enough she was allergic to the foam inside the catchers mask but we were able to find a mask for her to wear underneath to protect her skin. When she wasn't playing catcher, she was usually bored in the outfield ;) She had a few good hits this season (here and here), of course her best one was when I was taking photos instead of video. 9 out of the 12 girls on her team had never played softball before so they had some big losses but they all learned a lot!
This field was about 50 minutes away and was called "Field of Dreams." My favorite part was when the cows in the outfield mooed!!
Willow had a large cheering section at many of her games!!
