Day 2 @ Florida
The alarm went off way too early this morning 6 am to be
exact. Per usual we all gathered in the
kitchen and ate our cereal and drank our tea (not coffee like the other
house). Since most of us were little
lobsters after the first day of games, we learned our lessons and lathered up
on the sunscreen!! Kate used the 100 spf and still managed to get burned. After we got dressed Alicia picked us up at
the corner of the street, and we were off to play our first game of the day against
Elizabethtown. Here is a picture of us
warming up for the game; it was still a little chilly in the morning.
The bats were on fire for the start of the game, and the
pitching of freshman Amanda Cordeiro led us to our first victory of the
season!!!
For the second game our opponent was The College of New
Jersey. This game was a battle from
start to finish. We ended up going into
the top 9th and with the score being 4-4.
Unfortunately we were unable to pull away with the win. There were many positives that we took away
from this game even though the score was not in our favor.
After a long morning of some great softball, player parted
ways and went to lunch with their families or went back to the houses to
relax. To welcome the newcomers to the
team we held a family get together.
Expecting a large crowd we ordered 16 pizzas. We met the family members or the newbies, and
shared some great laughs. Coach was
plotting to throw in our new assistant coach Jamie into the pool, but was not
successful. Before this trip is over
someone might be getting a little wet…

Congrats on the first win, Sharks!!
