Michelle had a walk, a line out to center, and a strike out that got us a run.  She ran and avoided the catchers tag, making her throw to first and our runner scored from third. We turned 2 double plays in the game.

There it goes, the first of Michelle's 4 ground rule doubles

We won Game two 7-2

Michelle had a 2 out RBI double in the first and a sacrifice fly RBI  in the 3rd.  She singled in the 4th and finally made an out in the 7th.

Game one: Rained all morning, games are backed up.

We played at 3 and won 9-4.  Michelle didn’t get a hit, but had a walk and scored a run.

Game 2: we were down 12-0, then came back to make it 12-10 in the 6^th, but they called the game because it went more than 90 minutes and we had them shaking,  Michelle had several big hits, one to lead off our 8 run 6th inning.

Game 3: We had to play game 3 just minutes after this exhausting loss. The game ended at 11:00, We lost 6-0 the tanks were empty.

We waited a log time for our game to start	The girls were anxious to get started
Once the game started the lighting was poor	My camera could not capture the action
Coach Mike get ready for his reward for coaching	For all his hard work, I thought he deserved better
On Sunday, we headed Home	Michael and I stopped at the Mississippi River
