Having a little extra time this year, the Golden Granny and I had the opportunity to attend a couple of softball games tonight. The first game was our first opportunity to watch our Granddaughter Sierra play. She pitched the first two innings, although she gave up eight runs she did strike out four players in her effort. Unfortunately, we had to leave the game early to watch the last half of the softball game in which the team we sponsor was playing. When we left the game that Blondy Bear was playing in, the score was 8-4 in favor of the other team. Her team rallied in the final inning to win the game 17-16 but the highlight of the night followed the game when Blondy Bear was named to the All Star Team for her league. Way to go Blondy! We are proud of you and the effort you demonstrated.
In the second game, the Anglers have had a perfect season this year, which is good since they are the defending City Champions. Mama Bear played her normal good game, getting some great hits but her outfield playing is perfection, catching a couple of fly balls up against the fence. Although, losing the game by a score of 14-13 which gives them their first loss of the season, they really look strong in all areas of play, I just do not know where I am going to put another trophy. They are the only team that has been blackballed from playing in the Anchor Point Snow Rondi Snowshoe Softball Tournament. Seems that someone thought it was unfair that a team is brought from Homer to play a tournament in Anchor Point, something about a ringer just to win a trophy! You have to love competition!
