Katie's pitching debut....go Barracudas!

Softball season started today and Katie made her pitching debut. She was quite nervous, but she did really well. She was bummed (as were the coaches) that the umpire didn't know you could call strikes in this league. It was about the 4th inning before he realized it and stepped behind the plate!!! Katie got the first hit for the team and scored the first run....yeah Katie! Unfortunately they lost the game 7-3 (I think). She didn't pitch the second game of the day, but played left field and then 3rd base. She got a few more hits and scored some runs. Again they lost, but this time 8-7....not too bad. These two games don't count for the season record, so hopefully everyone got rid of the nerves and will be ready to go for the next game on Thursday night. I'm so proud of Katie for pitching. She did not pitch at all last season and it took a lot of courage to try something new. Way to go!!
