Marquel was choosen to play on the Cedar National All-Star Softball Team. She was up north when I heard the news and so I called her right away. Marquel was so excited that she cut her visit short and headed back home to start practicing with her new team. They started practicing a week before the games were to begin and Marquel loved every minute of it!
The games began on June 17th. CN was to face off with Washington. They had a rough first inning with Washington scoring 9 runs. All I could think was this was going to be bad... But the girls came back and scored 10 and ended up winning the game with a score of 19-9! They played Awesome!!
Winning the first game put us in the championship bracket and gave us a friday game bye. Play resumed Saturday morning with us playing Enterprise. Enterprise's team was a great little team and beat us by 10. We were then faced to play Cedar American. We beat Cedar American with a score of 14-9 and then had to play Enterprise for the championship. In order for us to take the championship we would need to beat Enterprise twice. The girls went out there playing hard and better than the early game but still came up short. Losing to Enterprise by a score of 7-4.
All in all it was a Great tournament and Marquel had a blast! She played short-stop, 2nd base and left field! She loves short stop and 2nd the best. Her batting was awesome, and she worked hard! Infact she worked so hard that a club coach invited her to come and practice with the local travel team. She is excited about that and will start practicing with them next monday!
