Baseball, Baseball & More Baseball!!

Friday Night Lights is not just football!

Kayleigh's team Holliday Lil Eagls played the Little Divas Friday night.
It was hot! Kayleigh was excited that Unkie Joe, Aunt Jennifer & the boys (Andy & Tommy) came to watch the game.

The game watching didn't last long so Unkie Joe & Uncle Casey had to do some entertaing! It is not easy keeping small kids interested in a hour & 1/2 game!
The teams ended with a tied game 12 to 12. Yeah Lil Eagles!

Saturday began the double header! Lil Eagles vs Lady Texans & much cooler weather!
The team seemed to still be waking up & acting silly!
The Eagles lost 9 to 12. Better luck next game!

After a lunch break the Lil Eagles played their 2nd game vs Diamond Divas (also a Holliday team). The team didn't work together & some of the girls didn't have very good attitudes!?!

Kayleigh managed to tear a hole in the toe of her shoe. (The right foot she follows through with when pitching)
Well, they lost 12 to 16! :( Hopefully they learned a lesson!?!

Super Saturday!!

Saturday was a big day for the Holliday Lil Eagles! They played 2 games back to back. Kayleigh pitched the 1st game against North Texas Thunder. She had her own fan club! Casey, the girls & I, MiMi (Trisha), Grandmaw (Elwanda), PaPa (Jerry), Nan & Pop Pop (Sue & David), Jacob & DoDad (Joe) & Nancie all watched the 1st game. It was in the afternoon & the wind was blowing dirt off the field right into the dug out. We had dirt all over us too! The girls played hard, but lost 14 to 16. Better luck next game!The 2nd game was against Archer City Angels. Kayleigh played catcher & did very well! We lost some of our fan club, but cheered extra loud for the team! The girls played better the 2nd game. They listened more to their base coaches & scored more runs! One of the girls scored a homerun! Lil Eagles won 12 to 7! Yeah! 1st win for the season!Kayleigh & her team were so excited to win! Everyone was hot, tired, & DIRTY! Go! Lil Eagles!

Play Ball!!

Kayleigh has played baseball since she was 5/kindergarten. T-ball was fun, watching the kids (boys & girls) run around all crazy having no idea as to what they are supposed to be doing. Kayleigh played 1st base, the team name was Holliday Pumpers. Then she played 5 - pitch for 2 years and picked up on the basics of the game. She continued to play for the same team which was nice because the kids (boys & girls) all moved up together. Kayleigh stayed at 1st base and did very well. Now she is playing fast pitch. This year & last year she has played for the Holliday Lil Eagles (all girls). She takes the game very seriously!! She plays pitcher & catcher positions. Tonight was their 1st game the score was 15-16. Although they lost the game they were very excited! There are many more games ahead and a very determined group of young ladies to play those games! So I say GO!! LIL EAGLES GO!!
