Walker played in the "Step up your Game" tournament in Hoschton, GA. Walker and Jay left at 6:15 for a 7:15 warm up and an 8am game. Quinn and I headed up there to watch her play at 7:15. The Flames lost the first game, it wasn't pretty. Quinn and I watched them win their second game before we headed to Murphey Candler for his game. Quinn played the undefeated Philles and won, 9-5. He pitched great and made a great relay in from center field. While his game was going on Walker played 2 games and won them both. We arrived back in Hoschton for the end of their 3rd game, another victory. They were now in the championship game at 8:30 at night. If they won, they won it all. If they lost they had to play another game against the same team since it was a double elimination tournament. Over the course of the tournament, Walker through out 2 girls at second and was very close many times. In the championship game she threw a girl out at first on a dropped third strike. After regulation the game was tied 2-2. In softball they play ITB, international tie breaker. In ITB a girl is placed on second, a base runner. From there you play the way a normal inning would play out. We went ahead 3-2 after the first half of the inning. The other team was up...bases loaded, 1 out and one of their players popped up to 2nd base, she caught it and threw to first, double play! And a championship for the Flames!!
Sunday, its Quinn's turn to play again and another victory 11-9! He pitched great! He also spent an inning like his sister, playing catcher. The best was him playing right field not paying a lick of attention.
Sunday night, its date night with Bruce Springsteen!
