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!
Jess Uschmann (Freshman) and Ari King (Junior)
