Blood and Guts Softball Tournament at Golden Eagle



Danielle was playing in a Spark's Blood and Guts Softball Tournament this weekend. She got a call Tuesday night from some random guy that got her number from someone else asking if she was interested in playing in a softball tournament. Of course she was, since the season ended a few weeks ago she has been hopping she would get to play. The first game was at 8am and it was cold 35 when she got out of the car. The team must of liked the cold because they killed the team that came all the way from Idaho. The team was hitting well Danielle got a 2 doubles a triple and a in the park home run. After the first game they had a three hour break so she got some breakfast then back to Golden Eagle.

The next game wasn't as spectacular but they still pulled it out in the last inning. After winning 2 if they would have won the next game, they would of been done for the day and able to rest for Sunday. That didn't happen the first inning the other team scored 17 runs and Danielle's team the Big Kids was never able to pull out from that hole. The loss also meant they would have to play at least one more game Saturday if not two.

The next game was at 7pm and the temperature quickly dropped from the high of 75 to about 50 and I was freezing in my shorts and flip flops, I didn't think we were going to be there that late. The next game of the day was good it was back and forth but they ended up losing in the end which meant they would have to be back at 8am the next morning for the game and they had to win.

Sunday morning it was even colder it was 31. The game started off good and they were up by 12 but half way threw the other team most have unthawed and put up 33 runs in one inning this is one of the worst innings I have ever seen. Well this meant the Big kids Tournament was done but Danielle had fun and she got to play 5 games over they weekend. Better luck next time.
