Michelle gets a walk.	Then She steals second.
She is on her way to third.	She is ready to score.


Michelle scores a lot of runs like this.	She takes ball 4, then runs to first.

She rounds first and draws a throw.	Then She steals second.
She steals third,	And scores in a cloud of dust on a wild pitch.

Here is my favorite, Michelle waits for a throw at third (the ball is left of center in line with the roof) and a runner is fast approaching, (Far right) Michelle caught the perfect throw and put the tag on the would be thief to end the inning. We won 8-3!

Michelle stole second on a walk,	but the slide skinned her knee

Michelle made a nice throw from short in the first inning.	She made a long stretch and scooped a dirt ball in the 2nd.
Michelle stole third	Then scored on a wild pitch.

The rain came down sideways, but we were able to get the final out on a pop up to Michelle at third. Another win!!





We lost a heart breaker in extra innings, Michelle pulled a muscle sliding in with the potential winning run.

	Michelle played her first game in pain that was caused by her new braces. She doubled in 2 runs and got a walk.

On June 29, 2007, Michelle had her finest game, when she singled up the middle in he first at bat, stole second and third and scored on a ground out. In her second at bat, she beat out an infield single, stole second and third and scored on a bunt. In the 5th inning, she scoped up a ground ball and stepped on first. The next batter hit a shot right over the first base that was headed into the corner for an extra base hit, but Michelle made a great back hand grab and stepped on first! On her third at bat, she smoked one over the right fielder's head. By the time they tracked it down, Michelle slid across home plate with a thrilling Home Run! It was a night game, so I didn't bring my camera, I'm going to have to get a new low light camera.
