Chicago Series

I, as well as the team I'm sure, wish that we could report back to you with better news about the Chicago series and the outcome; however, and we're going to use this conjunction to only report the positive, there was one win and a lot of potential shown. 

Everyone has a highlight that I could talk about, but I'm going to bullet the things that pop into my head about this weekend: 

• DeDe Justice was on fire. Two yard balls, one off Finch I must add, and a couple RBIs on the series under her belt. This weekend looked good for a lot of power coming off her bat. 
• Lillian Hammond showed a lot of promise at the plate. There was a game that I thought hands down she deserved the player of the game, but I guess the honchoes didn't agree with me. I'll give it to you, Hammond!
• Trena Peel HOSED a runner at home. That do/die that can just as easily go the other way, but there was no chance for this Chicago runner. Run on her again, I dare ya!
• Kristin Erb looked strong in the circle. My twice DII opponent represented and went four shut-out innings against the Bandits, and really only took the loss on a once-in-a-career spoof. 
• Defense really looked good. I think that in the field, once the pitchers settle down a bit, that it's going to be hard to get a run on this team. 
• On the pitching note, the pitching staff really did do a good job. A couple balls here and there turned out for the worse; but hey, it's opening weekend and these are professionals. As much as they will take advantage of the mistakes, the pitchers will learn from them. This staff is hardworking and determined, I truly believe in them and their strength. 

I thought I had a funny anecdote for all you bloggers, but I can't really remember what it is. If you only knew how many Post-it notes I go through, and that I even have the widget on my Mac, you would see why I can't remember!
