This past weekend, Tori’s little softball team played in the Summer Slam tournament at Tyndall Park hosted by Vertigo Softball of Benton. For the sake of full disclosure, the temperature was bearable when we agreed to play in the tournament. Friday night and Saturday, the temperature was completely unbearable.
Saturday set a record high temperature as the hottest June 4th day in Arkansas weather history. And, we played out of the loser’s bracket, winning our way to the championship game. The girls battled, sweated, guzzled Gatorade, and captured the 2nd place trophy, losing the championship game, 8-4.
Tonight, our little team plays their season finale at Tyndall at 7:00.
I’m a bit sad to see this season conclude. The parents have been awesome, tremendously supportive and helpful. The girls all have wonderful attitudes, talent, and have a lot of fun playing together.
