Marissa's Tournament


By the time we got a new camera tournament was just about over so these are all of the pictures I got this year :(
It wasn't our best season anyway. Alexis was not drafted this year and Marissa's team lost every single game.
They all played their hardest, but we came in last place which was kind of surprising to me because last year we only got beat once and in the end we finished in second place. Guess that's just how it goes!

Marissa was catcher this whole season and absolutely loves the spot. Guess she is following in Alexis' foot steps!



The highlight of the season for Marissa was during our first tournament game. A girl from the other team was coming in to home when Marissa noticed that the girls foot never touched home. So she turned to the umpire and told him. According to tournament rules the umpire is not allow to assist in telling her what to do so all he said was "what are you going to do about it?" Marissa remembered from one of Alexis' games a few years ago that you could "challenge the play" She told the pitcher to toss her the ball then she tagged home plate and the girl was out, no run scored!
Marissa was so proud of her self and so was her coach. I think she has learned alot over the past few years watching the older girls play! Good for her!
Hope we do better next year!
