Sarah's team won again last night. At least this one was a close one and they had to work to score enough runs in the bottom of the 3rd to win it. Sarah played pretty well. I think her best play of the night was when she threw a runner out at 1st. With bases loaded and two outs, the ball was hit sharply to her. Normally, with a runner on third, she fields the ball and then runs to home and either tags the runner out or touches home for the force out. But, this time she juggled the ball and realized that she could not chase down the runner from third, so she calmly threw to first and got the final out.
She never panicked and knew the situation and with the ball hit sharply, she still had time to throw to first. Now, if you have ever watched a girl's t-ball game, you will know that just by knowing what to do, she was way ahead of most of the girls on the field.
Another nice play was in the bottom of the third and bases loaded, she smoked a hard shot off of the pitcher's knee and the ball ricocheted far enough to away empty the bases. Luckily, the girls play with a rubberized softball and she did not hurt the girl.
