So not only has this been the worst winter southern california has seen in years with all the rain, but when it rains it pours! As I posted in the last entry our own Bailey had broken her thumb. Well, last week we suffered two more broken bones, when Tayler broke her foot, and Stevi broke a toe. Both breaks were very minor and both girls are expected to be back on their feet relatively quickly. Some good news though, Bailey has gotten her cast off and is cleared to play! She was at hitting on Thursday and showed that she never missed a beat! She was swinging and hitting like a champ!
the three injured!
Due to the bad weather Matrix has been missing out on sufficient practice. Combined with limited field availability we have definitely been put through the wringer! I think the girls heads are high though and they all seem to be doing what we ask of them on late notice. In an attempt to teach the girls competitiveness we came up with some interesting drills to see what they had in them. Below is a video clip of one of the drills we had them do. No worries, no one was hurt during the filming of this video!
We are scheduled to play in the USSSA tournament in San Pedro in the month of March, will be in Palm Springs for Triple Crown in April and then its off to Vegas for a tournament the month of May! We look forward to the continued success of the girls!
As a last note, we have two military families on the team and are sad to see our two guys go. Both will be deployed within the next couple weeks and we'd like to say thank you for your service to our country and we all look forward to your safe and speedy return!
