Today we woke up for our final full day in Florida. Although it was our last day, we knew we had
to play hard and give it our all. Our first game was against Moravian, who is
ranked in the top 20 in the nation. We didn’t let their ranking intimidate us
and we came out strong from the start. It was an evenly matched game
offensively and defensively. Lauren kept the Moravian hitters guessing
throughout all 7 innings. Unfortunately we lost 2 to 0 but it was a well fought
game.
Our final game was against Oswego State. We made a deal
before the game with coach and she said that if we won, we could put bows in
her and Jamie’s hair for our next game. Jaime didn’t seem too excited about the
deal but she really had no say in the matter. Once again we came out swinging
and we scored 3 early in the game. We stayed strong defensively and run ruled
them in 5 innings ending the game 9 to 1. Looks like Coach and Jamie will be
looking real pretty next game!!!
To celebrate our final night in Florida, we went out for a
team dinner. The coaches surprised us by taking us to a Japanese Hibacci
restaurant. We all enjoyed watching them cook right in front of us and flipping
zucchini into our mouths. By the end of our dinner we were about ready to
explode, except for Cailin who wanted to eat another plate!
After getting back to the houses, we packed all the
equipment in the vans and cleaned up the houses for our early morning departure
(4 am to be exact). Most of us were looking forward to getting back home,
although everyone was going to miss the 80 degree weather.
