I attended my first softball camp at the young age of 9. I was the youngest girl there and got sick. I threw up and Sue Enquist had to call my parents. How embarrassing. Hey Sue, remember me, I’m the one that threw up at camp. Great!

Our team won league today. It was great to be a part of that. Our last game started out a bit shaky (kind of like our season with a loss to Canyon in the league opener). We gave up 4 runs in the top of the first, but knowing that we had to win that game in order to win the foothill league title really lit a fire under our butts. Our entire team stepped up to the plate knowing that we had to come out on top. The final score was 15-5 against Golden Valley. Our season record was 8-2.

High School ball was fun and great for everybody’s stats and confidence. Special thanks to our coach Dudley Rooney and his wife Cathy for all of their support throughout the season.

The NCAA Division 1 Management Council voted on Tuesday to ban text messaging as a form of communication between a college recruiter and a prospective student-athlete.  Overall, student-athletes were not happy with the amount of text messages they received and they felt it was intrusive and sometimes a financial burden.

While sending text messages in now prohibited, emails are still acceptable.

That is if you’re in Fresno, Ca.

According to the Fresno Bee, the Fresno State Bulldogs softball team has something to prove following last years defeat to the Rainbow Wahini team from Hawaii.

Apparently, the Wahini’s first baseman pounded her chest and pointed her index finger at Fresno fastpitch fans after their home game elimination in the 2006 semifinals.

Come on people, can’t we all get along? I guess not.

If the teams keep advancing in the WAC tournament bracket they should face off on Friday 5/11. Hawaii is a dominant player in the West with 45 wins under their belt, but the Bulldogs have that image of Tausaga digging in the worst loss in Fresno State’s softball history.

Being a California girl…Go Bulldogs!

I got my first Schutt Crystal Bustos bat in Seattle at ASA Nationals. I love it when new equipment comes out and I have a chance to try something new. The bat felt great in my hands. It was a bit heavier than the bat I was currently using. I knew I had to have it.

I’ve been swinging it ever since.

Today was a good day for our team and for me. I went 5 for 5. That was great, but here’s the cool thing. I was able to help a teammate with her swing before the game started and she hit a home run. After the win (19-5) my coach gave me the game ball and gave one to the girl that hit the home run. He said I had a bit to do with her home run as well.

I really did go 5 for 5 though. Check it out, I even made the paper.
