“Mom it’s to hot to go to softball!” “You have to go it’s your last game.” I can’t believe I didn't want to go. That softball game turned out to be the most memorable softball game I have ever played. It was mid July and very hot, but there was a game to be played.
When I get to the fields I was excited. Sadly the game started out like most others did. First play catch, then stretch.

Finally I realized that I had just broken my hitting slump. That felt amazing. I was the first one to hit the ball that inning. Everyone that batted after me followed in my footsteps. After five runs it was my teams turn to
