Last weekend was a great way to finish off our regular season. We had to overcome a few weather challenges, including a rain delay on Friday and 30-degree weather, unusual for April, but we did a nice job at staying focused and getting the job done.

We had a good practice on Saturday before we left, which I think always helps us get in game mode. And, of course, we were fueled by Mrs. Eaves' chocolate chip cookies at the hotel the night before the games.

The weather on Sunday was just as cold as predicted and we dressed in our puffy jackets and ear-warmers for the first time since the beginning of the season. The first game was a little rough, but the team really opened up and answered Coach's call to dominate in the second game.

We hit the ball hard in the second game and Kobe came back for her first start since March to hold Maryville to no runs for our 4-0 victory. It was really great to see Kobe's smile back on that mound after being out for so long.

After the game Coach gave a really moving speech about the seniors. At the end there were many tears and hugs, it was almost Senior Day all over again. We all love and admire our seniors so much and as we wait anxiously to find out about our post-season we all really hope that we can get to regionals and win for them.
