Lauren's Success!

Lauren's team finally got a taste of success! They placed 2nd June 20th at the State Warm-ups in Apopka! The final score was 7-8 to a team that has beaten us quite badly in the past. The team has struggled with having enough girls all season. As you can see here, they only had the 9 girls, so everyone played all weekend.

2nd base is Lauren's usual position. She also plays some Right Field and Pitches some. 2nd is her favorite and she is awesome in that spot!

She's been batting 2nd for the last few tournaments. I have to say that she is the "Queen of the Suicide Bunt." We would put that on her uniform, but that would give it all away. She gets on base with her bunts about a third of the time. She has great placement and can get that ball down so that they think it's going to roll foul and hold off while she legs it down to 1st. We still love it when they let her hit. She's got this nice spot over 3rd base she likes to hit to.

She has a great group of girls on her team. They all get along great together. They have had to borrow so many players over the season, that they are always complimented on how welcoming and friendly they are to guest players.

Lauren and April had birthdays 2 days apart. So we made Future Rebel cupcakes for the practice that fell on one of their birthdays. These were practically gone when we got the shot. We all love cupcakes!!
