Feb 23 24 2018 Tournament

We had a really fun tournament this past weekend.  Lisa is so talented, it is fun watching her play.  The first team we played was from Vegas.  We beat them pretty good.  They were good, they went on to win the Silver bracket.  The next game was windy and snowing.  Lisa was pitching that game.  She did great.  It was two - two until the third inning, and then she fell apart.  It was so cold that I don't know how she lasted that long.  The  opposing team was very good  comprising of players from Ogden to American Fork.  It amazes me that Lisa can shut down that kind of talent.

The next game Sting came from behind to beat the team.  Lisa made plays on third base that kept the team in the game.  She made them look routine but she is the only one on the team capable of making those plays. The first was she was hit a routine ground ball to third and she looked back the girl on third and went to make the throw, and the opposing team then sent the girl on third.  Lisa saw it and changed positions and fired it home and Aspen tagged the girl out.  She had people talking about that play all day.  She made a couple of other hard plays look routine, getting outs for the team.  The game was really fun and Sting came back to win.  Lisa is a play maker and she made plays on third all weekend.

Another game against a very good team, Lisa was pitching.  She did awesome.  Sting were down but Lisa kept the game really close.  The team rallied back from 4-2.  Lisa hit a double and knocked in two runs to tie the game.  In extra innings the Sting came came back and won.  Lisa pitched the whole game and did so good.  The team was elite- they were really good.  One thing that was really fun is that the whole place went bonkers when they were making a come back.  Another fun thing was that Emily and three of her team mates (boy were they loud and can cheer) were there and were routing for Lisa.  They all know Lisa and were saying stuff like " I want to Mentor Lisa"  and "Lisa is so inspiring"  and they were fun.  I was talking with them and they play at Viewmont, Woods Cross, and Bountiful High. (Their team kicked major but and went on to win their tournament)  I think it's cool that Lisa knows all these cool kids in high school but she is too young for high school. 
 
So, David got his Croup/RSV sickness and we had to take him into the emergency room Sunday morning.  That was fun.
