Emily's team, unfortunately, didn't win any games. Not one. They finished last place for the season, and were the first team to be eliminated in the tournaments. She didn't have much fun this year, but I am proud of her for sticking it out. She, herself, played very well, hitting the ball about 90% of the time she was up to bat, and on the rare occasions the pitcher actually pitched something the other teams could hit, she quickly fielded any balls that came her way. Which only happened about 3 times the entire season. Here is Emily on her final night, in the pouring rain (thus, the blurry picture).
Colleen, on the other hand, finished her season with a 16-3 win/loss record, and her team was in first place for the season, and won 1st place in the Championship game just last night.
Close up view of her trophy:

...and half her team sliding into home at once after the trophys were given out:
Colleen ALSO won $5 from her coach last night, for a stellar, left-field catch. So, another season is finished, and we will soon be having to start school again. Normally, we begin the first week in August, but with softball going on longer, and my health issues, we're going to just take a few weeks off to relax. I haven't even ordered all their curriculum yet, although I do know what we will be doing. I have some lab and doctor appointments this month, too, so it might not be till after Labor Day before we go back to school.
