This was an interesting day... Samantha was originally
scheduled to only have a soccer game today, but an early season baseball
postponement resulted in her second game of the season being rescheduled for
today as well. At first Sam was just going to have to skip this game, but after
figuring out the time frame we determined that she could probably play for a
little over half of the baseball game before leaving to play in her soccer game.
A quick check with the coaches resulted in the go-ahead for this plan, so off to
baseball we went.
Sam's team was home today, and she started out in the
field at second base. She didn't see much action in the field throughout the
game today, spending three innings total at second and the fourth inning in
centerfield. Sam got to the plate twice during today's game, going 1-1 with a
single in her first at-bat and a walk later in the game. Sam headed to the car
as her team took to the field in the fifth inning, but a quick 1-2-3 inning
resulted in a 10-0 mercy coming into play, ending the game at that point anyway.
At least she didn't have to miss much!
