Last Day in Florida!


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.
