We enjoyed five days of softball with Melissa and her team, Las Vegas Rage 16,in Park City. We have known and travelled with several of the girls over the last 18 months (or, in some cases, even longer), and we enjoy being at the ballpark with them cheering for a great group of girls.
Melissa participated in skills competitions (her team placed third in their division in the "around the horn" contest) and played second base in all of the team's eight games. The team's coach asked Jason and another father to help with warmups and practice, and Jason enjoyed being on the field. Melissa was also thrilled that Yvonne's parents came down from Idaho to watch four games, and that Yvonne's sister Pam came to the two games that were played in Salt Lake City.
Melissa was also selected to play in the tournament's all-star game. It was a great opportunity for her to compete in front of a large crowd, be a teammate with girls from across the West and Canada, and to play a very high level of softball. She made some new friends and smiled from the beginning of warmups through the end of the game.
With the tournament over, Melissa has a week to rest up, and then it's back to work on the field.
