Popular Post Parr8hed Posted April 23, 2018 Popular Post Share #1 Posted April 23, 2018 Sat. Emmy pitched her first full travel tourney. I was on pins and needles. The first day her team went 3-0, she pitched two of those. The threw 28 strikeouts!!! That's NOT a typo. She was rocking! She let about 6 girls on base in 2 games and only gave up 4 runs with 2 hits. Combined stats for 2 games. Sun. G rode in a race 2.5 hours in the other direction. G came in second overall (to George) and first in his agegroup. Even though he was the only person in his AG he still rode good. I got done there to drive 2.5 hours north to see Emmy's team play more. They kept winning only to eventually run into a team that beat them. Emmy had pitched a lot and she was cooked. They beat us 5-3. We got the the final game though. The championship game against the team that beat us. We had to beat them twice. Our back up pitcher came through big. We beat them. Then they put Emmy back on the mound. Emmy was back on form. She SMOKED that team, not giving up a run. Won the championship out of 20 teams! We asked her later where she found the speed she said "I had to. My team won that game on defense and I HAD to find a way to win the whole thing for them". I just about lost it. Incredibly proud of the rugrats today. (BTW Em threw 47 strikeouts on the weekend!!!) 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As she spits her 'baccy juice onto the dugout floor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
