Our first day!


So were here! In FLORIDA! And despite the predicted storm we ended up having semi-great weather! As any college athlete should, we started our day of with a delicious and nutritious breakfast that consisted of cinnamon raisin bagels and hard-boiled eggs. We can’t forget about the iced coffee! After 8 cups of coffee to get us going we ventured to the fields for our first game! (just kidding, but if count everyone it was 8 cups so technically I’m not lying J

In the first game we showed all our hard work during the offseason with nearly flawless defense. Shout to my home girl X (Christina Mulcahy) on getting us on the board with a two run homerun! WHOOP WHOOP! Also to HAM (Emily Cunningham) for receive the first MVP award. We give out the MVP award to the player that we as a team believed fulfilled our team standards that we set at the beginning of pre-season. HAM struck out her first at bat, but came back strong her second at bat with a lead off single which allowed X to get a two run homerun. 

In the second game we improved a lot from the first game by cutting down the number of times we struck out. Although the score did not end in our favor, we took a lot of great things away from the game. Tor (Victoria Luongo) did an awesome job behind the plate and threw out a runner stealing second. So of course she was awarded the MVP award for the game. Yay Tor! 

And we came back to the houses to cook some din din. Yummy chicken patties to be exact. Thanks Mama Ari! Of course we had to prank Coach Atlee by leaving her favorite fruit (BANANAS) in the cup holder. FYI, Atlee has a phobia of bananas!

For those of you who don’t know the team split up into two separate houses, so 8 of us are in one, and 8 of us are in the other. After a long day we wrapped it up with a group meeting summing up today’s games and what we want to accomplish tomorrow of course not after Jen took a fall off the couch and gave us all a good laugh!
We took a lot of positive things away from today…besides our sun burnt faces:

  Like our friend Tor!




Well ta ta for now its time to go dance to Call Me Maybe (team song) before bed time!






Night Night! Love Ya!
