Well, Savannah had her first softball tournament, and it was in Springville, Ut. Candace and Beau were both gone, but they allowed us to stay at there place. It sure saved us a lot of money, also the girls loved playing their WII, and so did I. Savannah had two games on friday evening, and then two more games saturday morning. They went 0-4, they had struggled against the Utah teams that have played together for years. This was the first time for Savannah playing with these girls. She also seemed very intimidated, she'd not seen girls pitch like this before, they were very good. There first game was against Emily Jonsen's team, she is married to Tod Jonsen from my mission. Their oldest daughter has been playing for years, she pitched, and did a very good job. It was fun to see them, and a pleasant surprise. We have a lot to work on with Savannah. She's still trying to learn the game and the mechanics of the game. I'm hoping that they'll come with the more game experience she sees. She played 2nd base and some right field.
She really struggled with her hitting, she walked a couple of times and then struck out the rest, she never made any contact with the ball.
Her team is going down to Murray, Ut. for a tournament this friday and saturday. I'm not sure that i'll make it down for this one or not, I'm not sure my nerves can take it, I guess that I've got a lot to work on myself.
THANKS BEAU AND CANDACE FOR LETTING US USE YOUR PLACE!!!!!

Utah has had a terrific girls softball program for years - and they start them at a young age! Savannah is getting a late start to Utah standards but with a couple of years practice and hard work she has Great Potential!! :)
Good Luck Savannah! I'm sure with more experience you will become more aggresive..... I LOVED my softball years!!
