An Anna Blog

Anna, one of my little readers, plays on a Cobourg Rep ball team, and I went to watch her play her first game in a tournament at Legion Fields yesterday.  What an amazing little player she is!  I loved watching and taking pictures of her!  Here you are, Anna, this blog's for you!  

 Each child gets at least 5 pitches when they get up to bat if they need them.  If they keep hitting foul balls, it could be more.

 Anna never needed her 5 pitches! 

And it connects!

And off she goes to first base.

Listening to advice from the coach.....  

 

.....and waiting her chance. 

 There she goes! 

 The piece of equipment in the middle of the diamond is a pitching machine.  There is not a pitcher, and all the balls come across the plate at the same place.  I thought it was a great idea! 

 She's a running machine!  Reminds me of the energizer bunny! 

Safe at second base......

.....and safe at third.  

 Sometimes Anna played second base - and played it very well! 

Ready for the hit...

.....she scoops it.....

.....and is ready for the throw.....

....straight and true!

Sometimes Anna played right field as well.  Back-up's ready....

......but she didn't need back-up!

Ready to throw on the run....

....and once again, straight and true!

 I thought it was cool that this time,.....

....she made the decision NOT to throw, and it was right on!

Anna is the only girl on her rep team, and there were NO girls on the opposing team.  THAT tells you something!  

Another base hit!

 And she's there!  I love the look on her face in this one!

Heading into the outfield - I just really like this picture of you, Anna!  

 Mom, this series of pics is for you - it's the play you missed while dealing with the puppy.  Anna made another really good play from right field. 

 Anna has two older brothers who play ball as well, so that might have something to do with her interest in baseball, as well as hockey. 

 And another great play is completed!

 I forgot to even ask who won, but somehow, it didn't really matter!

 The after-game pep-talk in the field.

And back to one of her biggest fans, her puppy, Spencer.
