Katie is playing softball this summer with Cache Valley Crush. The team is made up of girls from Mountain Crest and Skyview highschool. Their first tournament was down in Cedar City Utah where the played in the Utah Summer Games. Their first two games were against U18 teams. They were very competive but they lost both games. Then they went to the U16 bracket and they started winning. They all played pretty good and they started to gel as a team. Katie played 3rd base. 
She also was in a place in the batting line up where she got to bunt a lot. She is getting very good at getting the bunt down to move the runners around the bases. She is also pretty fast so a lot of times she will get base hits off her bunts too. Any way they won there first bracket game and went into the next game pretty excited. They played hard and ended up winning the game after 1 extra inning. Katie made an out at the end of regulation that kept the other team from scoring and sending the game to extra innings. It was very exciting.
Anyway, after winning that game it was on to the campionship game where we were the undefeated team that the other team had to beat twice to win. We were a little nervious but the girls played great. The were tough under pressure and won the GOLD in the bottom of the 9th inning. That is 2 extra innings in fastpitch softball for their age group. It was sooooo much fun.
Katie got the gold medal placed around her neck by her Coach.
