This has been a busy weekend for Alicia. It started out Friday night with a pitching lesson with Coach Bastian. She traveled to Creedmoor for a four hour lesson. During that lesson she works on not only pitching but balance and mental training for the game. Alicia is required to have a Coach B softball notebook, in which she writes down what she learned and needs to work on. You should see how many pages she filled after one session.From Creedmoor they traveled three plus hours to Florence, SC for the Memorial Day Shoot Out. She got to bed after 2am in the morning but was still able to play well the next day.
Alicia found she was one of the few players with a red freshman wrist band in a sea of blue and purple wrist bands. Their first pool game was against the SC Bandits with Coach Stancil. TFS tied the game 1-1. Alicia played in left field. She went one for two with a beautiful bunt that the other team was not expecting.
TFS then played the Coastal Lightning and lost 7-6. Once again Alicia was in the left field. She again went 1 for 2 and came in to score. She hit a ball over the first baseman's head and into the shallow outfield. Alicia was taking more aggressive leads off the bases and had to dive back.
There last pool game was against the Wateree Wildcats which was tied 0-0 and called in the 5th inning due to lightening.
Sunday was Double elimination brackets with their first game against the Coastal Lightning. This time they lost 5-3. Alicia was the base bandit for this game.
The last game of the day was against the SC Bandits in which TFS lost 4-2. Alicia played left field and then center field but did not hit this game.
Alicia went 2-5 in this tournament so her batting average is around a 400.
