Yesterday we drove four hours to play Sundsvall again. We played AWESOME! We won 9-2 the first game and 4-1 the second game. It was a whole team effort and everyone had so much fun. The first game had a little bit of drama, to say the least! When we were on offense, Emelie ran into the catcher that was about 5 feet in front of the plate. The catcher fell down and hit her head; when she got herself up she stared down Emelie and started screaming at us. The entire team rushed over to her and she looked as if she was going to come into our dugout and take action! The umpire didn't call anything because the catcher had no right to be standing where she was. She was so mad that she kicked our bat down the line and got into the umpires face about the play. We were all surprised that he didn't kick her out of the game then and there. After that play had occured I was up to the plate. The catcher tried to pick My off at first and the first baseman caught the ball and slammed her glove into My's stomach. Another time during the game they tried to pick My off again and the player slammed her glove on Mys head. I have never seen such blatent aggression towards other players in my life; they both should have been ejected!...So it was an intense couple of innings. The second game was calmer and they didn't stand a chance to our defense. Emelie had some really great hits, depite being shaken up at the beginning of the day! It was a great win, especially because Ingrid struck out the catcher as the last out of the game!
Here are the rankings so far:
1st place: Skövde
2nd place: Enköping
3rd place: Leksand
4th place: Sundsvall
Our last regular season games we play Leksand... on August 21st (it's a really weird schedule!). If we win both we should be able to keep second place spot. The second and third place team play each other; second place gets home field advantage. Th best out of 3 games will play the winner of the 1st and 4th place teams.
