Amelia

Amelia's softball is about wrapped up for the year. She did very well at both hitting and fielding. I would say her strength is fielding. She is very good at running up to the ball to make the play needed to get the runner out. At her last baseball game, she even got a double play! There was a pop fly that she caught while she was playing first base. Well, the runner on first didn't tag up so Amelia ran over to the base to touch it after she caught the pop fly. She then threw the ball over to third base because she realized the runner on third didn't tag up either! She almost got herself a triple play but her teammate on third didn't realize what was happening so the ball just ended up laying in the dirt. But it was an exciting play, and everyone cheered. Best part was Umma and Uppa were at the game to watch her and got to see it. I wasn't sure if she even knew she had got a double play but she assured me her coach had told her about tagging up and she knew what to do. Amelia is just so smart that she remembers stuff like that. She says her favorite sport is softball but she said that about basketball when she was playing it so we'll have to see.
