All Star Weekend

 Last weekend was Alaina's rec softball all star tournament.

Since this is probably the last year she and here teammates are going to do rec, it felt important.    

The team, however did not do as well as hoped.

On saturday, they had pool play and played San Rafel first where they blew at 8 run lead in the last inning to lose the game.   After they lost to (worse) Twin Cities team.

At that point, their travel ball coach stepped in to coach their last game, against a strong Novato team.    With his coaching they pulled off a victory.   I found it pretty interesting how much of an impact he made--I mean the players were all the same....but he sure led them in a different direction.

Anyhow, all that resulted a a poor seed for the bracket play on Sunday.  Though Jason missed Saturday as he was out of town, he was bak for sunday--and we were twinning!

  Luckily the travel coach came back to help the team win their first game.  The second game was against the San Rafael team again--and unfotunately, we just could not beat them.   So we went out in the semi finals and they went on to win the tournament.    It was a disappointing end to a somewhat lackluster rec season.   Oh well.
