Chloe decided that she wanted to play softball this year. We decided to let her do both soccer and softball. We just figured softball would kind of be like a fun recreational sport for her, she might not be that good at it, but just let her have fun and play, and that she probably wouldn't play it for many years before it would taper off and she would want to play other things more. HA HA-well you can guess what happened-she not only loves it, but is actually really good at it. Imagine our surprise when the coach told us Chloe would be pitching in their first game and that she had quite and arm on her. Imagine his when we told him she had never played before-he was like SAY WHAT?! The league at this age for girls softball is still kind of instructional, all the girls bat, they get four pitches from the girl and 2 from the coach (to give them a better chance to hit and get on base). I guess that half-way through the year this is supposed to change and they move onto the 3 out rule and are a little more competitive about stuff.
Game 1-highlights-Chloe pitched-she did so good, not just saying that, it was amazing seeing the difference in the way she was throwing compared to the other pitchers.
Here are some comparison videos just to get an idea-Chloe pitching...
someone else pitching to Chloe...
Game 2-highlights-Chloe got a hit and got on base, and that's about it. It was late, it was cold, it was raining, we were all just glad when the hour was up and we could go home.
Don't you love her socks ;)
Game 3-highlights-Chloe got a home-run!!! She also pitched again.
Home run girl :)
B-dog enjoying the ball game...
