Hello again to our readers
Kidnie has a fitting joke for everyone:
Knock knock
Who's there?
Orange
Orange who?
Orange you impressed we are blogging so early!?
And its true! We haven't even let a week go by and here we are blogging again! :)
So we last left you on Wednesday, when our home games against St. Norbert got postponed. So starting Thursday, we opened up conference. Our first opponent was UW-River Falls. They were two tough games and we pulled away 4-3 and 5-3. Kidnie and Jenny Janke both got their second home runs of the season! Woo! It was nice to open up the WIAC with two wins, because every team in the WIAC is tough.
Games 3 and 4 were against Platteville. The first game against them was 6-2. Stalker went 3-4 and JB went 3-3...those kids are on FIRE!! yay good thing they play for us! right? The second game was pretty good until they starting hitting in the last few innings. We ended up winning 4-3 though so it worked out.
Yesterday was stressful to say the least. The first game against LaCrosse was about seven years long. Seriously though it was pushing on 3 hours and thats a LONG time for Kidnie to stay focused...
It was a battle back and forth and we ended up winning 10-8. Then like fifteen min. off and we had to play again. They got a lead and held us 1-0 for a long time. Then the inning of errors happened and they scored 3 runs. And when I say inning of errors I actually mean inning of millions of errors. We didn't give up though, we ended up scoring 3 runs but it was too little too late and we lost 4-3 :( sad day
Since yesterday was our last weekend home game, we fit a ton of events into one day. We had Leave a Legacy day, Senior Day, Alumni Day and Breast Cancer Awareness day. The team got to wear pink jerseys and Kristi wouldn't have had it any other way on Senior day! We also had a banquet honoring the alumni after the game, but it started a little late since our first game was pushing three hours long! It was great to see all the alumni and for them to share their stories and memories with us. We want to thank all of the sponsors who helped to make this weekend possible and for all the people who came out to support us! Look for Jill and Casey's alumni video soon to be posted on the internet!
In regards to last week's trivia, Gene you were correct! Coach has a special place in her heart for Gelein Field because that is where she won her National Championships with Simpson College.
Trivia this week: What teammate of ours, on Senior Day, dropped her brand new batting gloves (that were not yet paid for) into a port-a-potty? And then she proceeded to USE the port-a-potty??
Until next time, here's looking at you kid...nie! :)

We are guessing that it was Betsy?
Jen Barron-duh!
Who else would go on with their port-a-potty business?
