Today was the beginning of the NISL tournament. Madison had a soccer game at 9:45 against Shipshewanna. We won 3-0. Her second game was against Chesterton, IN and after leading 1-0 nearly the entire game, the other team scored with only 2 minutes left in the game. We ended up losing 2-1 in double over time. It was a really rough way to lose a game. The girls played their hearts out though. They played so hard and played really well too. As their coach said, "I couldn't have asked you to play any harder." Just one of those things. We ended the season #2 out of 5 teams. The #1 team lost today as well. Anything can happen in a tournament.
Quinn's soccer team lost their first game today at 1:30...1-3 against the Goshen Stars. It was kind of rough. One of their Hispanic boys got yellow-carded for taking Nate out. How can those Hispanics be so good?!! Tony and Quinn came back to Concord for their 3:30 baseball game. I hated to miss it but Madison's soccer game was at the same time. Quinn pitched the whole game (a first) and he had 9 strike-outs in the 4 innings. Our team 10-runned them and finished 13-2. I guess he hit a double and made 2 crowd-cheering defensive plays. We are in 1st place in his rookie leagues. Wish I could have been in two places at once.
How do you like these pictures? Madison was helping Quinn put on the sun-strips and grabbed his face to get him to hold still to look at her. I love the expression on his face. A couple of moms brought blue face crayons to get the girls ready for their second game. They wrote Madison's soccer nickname, "Mad Dog", on her forehead. Ha!
The weather was weird today. We went from chilly and overcast this morning to hot, humid and windy this afternoon. The wind kept us all from burning up and it really really helped. We all are sunburned tonight.
Twelve hours after leaving this morning, we were happy to get home around 8:30 tonight.
