Yes, it's 4:04am on Tuesday in the Great Northwest. I tend to have many insomniac nights during tournaments, so no surprise that I'd have one on the biggest stage of our North Shore career...at Nationals! The hotel is quiet, but in a few hours 60 teams will stir as the first day of pool play begins! We drew Stompers West from Danville, CA (near Oakland). With a win we'll play the winner of American River (Sacramento) and West Linn (Portland) tomorrow afternoon at 2:00.
We held a 90 minute practice yesterday late afternoon in the 100 degree heat, high humidity and local smog alert. The girls were really battling the conditions with a lot of very red faces. Portland is experiencing their hottest weather on record...great!! Today the forecast is for 103 temps, however we lucked out drawing an 8am start time for our game. The fields we'll be playing at are awesome, Olympic caliber. We had our coaches meeting and dinner at a country club last night and it was really cool to be sitting in a room of 150 other softball crazies from around the western U.S. !! The girls are all very excited to start playing games today and I expect we'll play well.
Stay tuned....
