Softball Season

When it came time for Synnove to sign up for softball again this year, she was hot and cold.  I was really hoping that I wasn't going to have to beg her to sign up again.  Fortunately, her friends got her excited about it and it wasn't a fight.  This is only our 2nd year in being involved with Knappa Summer Recreation, and I'm not too impressed.  Parents and coaches spend a good 3-4 months trying to trace the rabbit trail of poor communication.  The weather is a big factor for any sport played on the coast.  And, as usual, we spent the first two months playing the cancel/reschedule game.  We were only able to have a small handful of practices before games started, and because of the weather, sometimes the girls didn't play for a week or more.  There were only 9 girls on our team, so there were times when we only had 5 or 6 girls on the field!  

There were 2 Knappa girls teams, so we tried to scrimmage once a week in the first month.

Synnove started the season fairly strong and was able to get on base at virtually every game.  Her no-hit streak started in her last two weeks of playing.  3 games and no hits.  She doesn't like playing in games, as she gets pretty nervous.  She always had a big crowd of her own fans :)



Little Miss Evelyn was by far Synnove's biggest fan.  My sweet sister made it to all but two games (one because I didn't tell her about it)!

The last game was last Thursday and the coach bought each of the girls an engraved trophy.  Synnove was sooo excited for that.  I really enjoy watching Synnove play and I hope she will want to play again next year. Even Soren will be able to play!
