Kali's first game she definitely loved all the eyes watching her. She did a pretty good job hitting, but then every time she would run she would worry more about holding her helmet instead of running fast to the base. Then when she would touch home plate she noticed that everyone was watching her so she would stop right in front of home plate and wait and then touch the base. It was pretty cute.
I was quite surprised at how aggressive Kali was at fielding. It didn't really matter what position the coach put her because she would almost go after every ball. I think she was playing short stop and she went out to center field to field a ball. Then she was playing 3rd base and she fielded the ball cleanly and started running to first base, because I don't think she thought she could throw the ball that far. Then she finally threw it when she was close to the base. With all the running to 1st base, Kali must have gotten confused as she started to think she was the hitter/runner and she stood on 1st base with him and she ran with the runner to 2nd base. It was so funny! Daddy told her, "Kali when you have your glove on, you can't run the bases." IT WAS SO HUMOROUS. Kali has a lot of players on her team that haven't played before so it is amazing watching them progress and get better every game.
Kali's 2nd and 3rd games were about the same. She is getting better at batting. She continues to be very aggressive fielding, regardless if it is her position or not. I think her goal is to have the dirtiest white paints. She has started a bad habit that any time she fields the ball she will slide on her knees. On the 3rd game, Kali was the last batter and she ran so fast around the bases she beat the little boy in front of her. You could see it on her face that is all she wanted to do was to catch him!
After watching the 1st game, Grandma Dolores didn't think Kali quite looked the part so she graciously bought her cleats, a hot pink helmet, and a pink softball bag. Thanks Grandma for spoiling her rotten. I do think she runs faster in the cleats and on the 2nd game when Kali was fielding she was out trying out her cleats by spinning in the dirt like a little ballerina.
I want to thank all of Kali's great friends/family who have come out to watch her. I think Kali has the biggest cheering section.
The below pictures are from her 1st game.
I forgot to take pictures of all the fans that came to support her the 2nd game. But here are a couple that I did take of the family.
