SA-WINGING Savannah

Second game of the season for t-ball and we already had picture day to deal with. Picture day is always craziness... people are late, kids are crying, it's hot. So I guess it might have been a blessing in disguise to get it over with early (we still have soccer pictures to deal with in a couple of weeks). Savannah's team actually behaved pretty well during the whole process. They were all so eager to get pictures over with and get out on the field. Her team had another good game this past week. They are starting to get the hang of fielding the ball and getting outs. Savannah played at the pitcher position this game, so she had several opportunities to get the ball and throw someone out. A few times she wasn't paying attention and the ball rolled right by her, and other times she was right on top of the ball and threw perfectly to first. She had several good hits... great swing, better than most of the boys out there playing with her. We need to get her to run faster though. At one point she was thrown out running from first to second... she did not like that. It gave me a chance to explain to her that had she ran a little faster, she probably wouldn't have been out. Getting thrown out sucks, so hopefully that was the little push she needed.
