Tough Loss in Game One

We lost a tough one in our first pool game to a good East Bay Stompers team 2-1 this morning. Our bats were a little rusty with the 16 day lay off from live action after States. The game was 0-0 until the 5th when the Stompers pushed across the first run when Savannah's attempt for a diving catch in the gap fell short when the ball popped out of her glove upon hitting the turf. After a few chances without success we fell behind 2-0 in the 7th then came back with one in the bottom on a pinch hit by Avery, but we could do no further damage in the loss. We'll play the West Linn Lions of Portland tomorrow at 2:00. Several games were postponed today due to the 1o5 degree heat and high humidity. We're playing on the artificial turf tomorrow at 2pm, so we'll be steaming!!!!!!!!!!!! Opening ceremonies tonight. Went to the famous VooDoo Donuts today after which some of the girls went to the water park, some to the movies and some down to the river below our hotel to cool down in the 65 degree water (me included!). Check in with you all later.
