Back at Llanerch Hills for a Game.

Man, yesterday was no joke. Game time temperature was 47 degrees and the wind made it feel much, much colder. But when I got to the field, Evan and Eliana ran up and hugged me, best feeling ever. Eliana is at Hilltop, a different league, playing against her old league, Llanerch Hills. Nevertheless, it was good to be back on Dermond Field B, where both Evan and Eliana played for several seasons. Despite the cold, Eliana nearly went 2 for 2. She belted a single, then at her next at bat, made great contact, but it went right to the girl playing first base, who beat her to the bag. No biggie, her slugging percentage is 1.000. Even one of the coached leaned over and said, "Do you think she wants to play on the tournament team?" The funny thing is, Eliana doesn't even really take it that seriously, but she gets it, and is getting better and better at softball.

Eliana did a great job as catcher and seems to like that position. The coaches were impressed with her ability to stop the ball. Looking forward to a great season with the BUZZ!
