All Champions.

Last night was eventful to say the least.
I don't think I've talked much about softball on my blog (if I've talked about it at all) but it has been a blast this year. Our church had so many sign up to play that we had to divide into two teams. We played in a league at Clarks River Baptist Church. During the season, both of our teams lost one game only. The A team (the team I'm not on) drew a bye in the tournament. So they were automatically in the championship last night at 7:30. The B team (the team I am on) had to win at 6:30 in order to play in the Championship.
And the 6:30 game was a barn burner, to say the least. The team that we played was pretty good. Last night was the first time that we have played them all year. We went into 4 extra innings with this team... The game lasted over two hours. We ended up WINNING 25-23. It was an amazing victory!
So at 7:30 we played against our friends and family in the championship. This game was so much more laid back because both teams knew that Liberty would be the champions no matter what the outcome was. It was a really fun game to play in, especially after the barn burner that we participated in not even 15 minutes earlier.
The B team did come out on top of this game 17-12... I wish the game would have ended in a different way and still had the same outcome, but it was just a game, and it was fun.
Here are both teams. All of us. The real Champions. The B team.
The A team.
Me and my little dude.
Me and the hubby....
"You are all champions in your own way. That doesn't mean you have to be number 1 or be the best. Just do your best. If you aren't first, then make those people ahead of you break records by pushing them with your personal best. Consider for a moment what we achieve from athletics- the sheer fun of competing- the building of a healthy and alert mind and body- stamina, courage, perserverance, dedication, commitment, selflessness and most importantly, the will to excel."

1. Congrats on the wins
2. We didn't get a bye in the tourney..we had to play last week because a team dropped out.
3. I guess I'll find something else to be a champion in.
