Go MudHens!

Saturday was Hayden's first Softball game of the season.  This year it is real Softball, they have strikes, outs and umpires.  I think for the most part the girls were all in shock of how a real game works.  When one would get the ball, all the coaches and parents would go to hollering at them where to throw it and they just stood there in shock, not knowing what to do!  It is going to be very competitive and fun this year.  The Mudhens were in the field first, our first baseman, has played ball for a long time so she is really good and our second baseman is none other than the famous Hayden Stancil!  Hayden did get the ball a couple of times but she was a little unsure of what to do at first too, no worries though we have been practicing and preparing her for what to expect.  She did great considering that this was way different than little old T Ball last year!  All of our Mudhens are pretty good at bat!  They get 3 pitches from their coach and then 2 tries of the T if they can't hit it, but if they should mess up and not hit one off the T, it is considered an out!  Are you ready for this!  The famous Hayden Stancil was second to bat, she was nervous but I told her when she went out to watch the ball and hit it....and that is exactly what she did....a HOME RUN!!!!  It was priceless, she hit off of one of the pitches and ran around all the bases very proudly and when she crossed home plate, her Coach, Matt was there to give her not one high five but two!!!!   He was very proud of her too!  Nothing in the world beats the smile that was on her face when she came back to the dug out and the smile on her Daddy's face too, he met her at the dug out to give her a big hug and some more high fives!   Pop was there to cheer her on too, Mimi is out of town and so very sad that she missed her first game, but there will be many more to enjoy and I made sure to text Mimi and send a few pictures of our #1 Hayden Stancil!!!!  We are so proud of her!  I am also going to be that Mommy that wears a game shirt that says 'I am Hayden's Mom' !!!  Oh and the Mudhens won their first game 11 to 8!  GO MUDHENS!
