Concord 38, Baugo 9

The Concord All-Stars didn't have any trouble tonight for sure! Our coaches tried everything not to run up the score... they even searched for ways to get our girls out. He had our batters switch hit, swing at any pitch that was close etc... Most of the Baugo girls were younger than our girls I think. That makes a big difference... even in the 9-10 year old softball leagues. Ed, Eileen, Jeremiah and Jacob came to check it out. Ed was moving slow but looks good. Quinn didn't let the boys alone for a second. He had them off in a different field playing and then he was hanging all over Jeremiah when he sat down to watch the game. You are a good sport Jeremiah!

The funniest part of the evening was when a mouse decided to sprint across the infield, right in the middle of the game! It generated quite the shrieks from some of the girls. It ran from right field all the way across near 3rd base and then turned around and headed back towards second. Madison tried to catch it with her glove but it crawled up her arm and jumped off her shoulder!!! (Was she brave or what?!). The coaches and umpires were out trying to catch it. Tony was a base ump tonight. He said he thought about trying to step on it but quickly thought better of that, realizing he would have a bunch of grossed out girls on the field... including those in the stands. They eventually caught it in a glove and put it in a bucket. Of course, me being the shutterbug, had my camera on the scene. I was able to snap one and only picture. It's of one of the base umps picking the mouse out of the glove and putting it in the bucket. Madison is the player on the left. If you double click on the picture, you'll probably like her expression.

My mom and dad arrived around 4pm today so they got to go to the game tonight. Madison played about the same amount and played at 2nd base.

That's all for tonight!
