To quickly sum up our Saturday...we were at softball games all day. Fortunately, the official high didn't get above 93 degrees. Annee and the Southern Kentucky Thunder played in the 6 and Under ASA State Invitational Softball Tournament. The Thunder and the South Hardin All-Stars were the class of the field. As luck would have it, they also were the first game of the day on Saturday with an 8:30 start time. South Hardin clobbered the Thunder and sent them to the day long losers bracket. Six games later the Thunder emerged as state champions. After the loss to South Hardin, the Thunder had to beat the Butler County Blast (twice), the Kentucky Diamonds, and the Marshall County Magic before earning a rematch with South Hardin at 7:00 pm. The game started like the first one of the morning and the Thunder were down 9-1 after the top of the 3rd innings. The Thunder finally prevailed in extra innings setting up the rubber game 12 hours after the first one started. Although the Thunder trailed early, the hole was not nearly as deep as the first two games. Heading into the bottom of the final inning the Thunder trailed by one. Annee singled and scored the game tying run. After the victory celebration we finally headed home 14 hours after they day started. Hayden seemed to have a good time. He was able to hang out with some of the other brothers and does a good job cheering for his sister. The Thunder play next in a national tournament in July. Fortunately, today was a bit more laid back for the family. After church and lunch, we spent most of the afternoon at the pool. Below is a brief summary of Saturday from beginning to end.
