Abby's Softball Season

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Abby played her first season of softball this year! They started practicing in February, and ended the season on May 22nd.

Back on April 27th, both sets of grandparents were able to come see Abby's game (they were in town for Abby's First Communion). Little did they know that they would be witnessing history....the Unicorns won their first game in *two* seasons!!

Abby was pumped up!!

I was SO happy we had family in town to witness Abby's first win. The whole team was *so* excited!!! Abby contributed one run herself, so she was very pleased with herself!

Nanny & Poppy, some of Abby's biggest fans.

The Unicorns had their last game on May 22nd, and Abby was thrilled that she was #5 in the batting order AND playing 2nd base! (The coach let all the younger players be in the infield on the last game, and the older players in the outfield. As you can imagine, we lost! But the girls had so much fun and Abby did a *great* job at 2nd base. She has one really good stop!)

The Unicorns ended their season with a 2-7 record, and Abby has decided that Nanny was her lucky charms since she witnessed both wins :)

When I asked Abby what her favorite part of softball was, she replied "Playing second base, scoring runs, and hanging out with my friends in the dugout!" 

More than half of Abby's team (including the coach) will move up next year to the U12 league, so I'm hopeful that we can find a coach for the remaining 6 players. Abby did such a great job for her first season of softball and I hope she continues to want to play!
