Two 3rd place finishes at 12U Tournaments in Newberg, OR

Maddy's fastpitch softball team had 2 tournaments back to back. April 24-25th & May 1-2nd, 2010. They finished 3rd both weekends. The girls played well and just came up a few runs short to make it to the championship games. Maddy got to be the first girl to take the trophy home.

The girls after winning 3 games in a row on may 1-2nd, scoring 50 runs and only allowing 3 from their opponents. Maddy hit a triple in one of the games and a homerun in the 3rd game.
Steven borrowed his mom's camera and took pictures of the tournaments. over 1000 pictures between the 2 tourneys.

Maddy plays catcher usually about 4-6 innings per tournament. She does a great job of protecting home plate and catching pop up foul balls.

I seriously have not gotten a full face shot picture of Cole for over 6 months. This kid will not look at me. So I have to settle for the side shots.

Presley and Syd actually getting along, trying to stay warm is more like it!

Maddy up to bat. Look in the back ground, you can see Presley, Me, Syd, Sierra (yes, shocker! Sierra actually came to one of Maddy's tournaments) & Cole

Here she is sliding into 3rd base. Maddy is so quick, she has yet to get picked off on a steal!(Steven had just put the camera down when she hit her homerun, so we did not get a picture of that :( bummer)

Maddy made 4 double plays during the April 24-25th tournament. During the game deciding the 3rd place winner we were up 3-2, bottom of the 7th inning. Maddy is playing 2nd base. The opposing team is up to bat, first girl hits a ball to pitcher she throws her out at first but the retarded ump called her safe. Next batter comes up.. hits the ball, it is over first basemans head, Maddy is in a full run... she catches it about 20 feet behind first base, the runner from first is already at 2nd, coach sent her thinking there was no way someone could catch the hit ball. Maddy runs up and steps on first base 2 outs. 3rd batter gets up and hits a line drive right back to our pitcher, Emily, she catches it! Game over!

After a long day of softball games, This is Cole on the drive home( probably from boredom)And Presley! This girl plays so hard at the tournaments. She literally wears herself out playing with a few of the other kids siblings from the team.

I LOVE IT!!
