No, the team that I have is a rec team that was thrown together by the league. They didn't have a coach, so the league president asked me if I would coach. I asked my daughter Becky if she wanted to help, so we did. We won the Libby Wells Memorial Tournament in Columbia and came in 2nd in the season. We knocked out the undefeated first place team by winning the last 4 in a row games as we fell into the loser bracket. The last 3 games were on the same night. With only 9 players in town, our shortstop got hit under her left eye during a throw down in the first inning of the first game and had to leave to get several stitches put in at the hospital. We won that game and the next with only 8 players, with the 9th batter automatically out of course. (I think that is a stupid rule.) She came back and played the last game. Her mom said she (the shortstop) kept telling the ER staff to hurry up, that she had a ball game to get back to. She has my vote for tough girl of the year! We had 5 girls that had little to no experience playing fastpitch softball and 3 will stay down in the 12u division next year. We are very proud of these girls for their determination!
