    Samantha finally got to play in her second baseball game 
of the season - after missing one due to a track commitment and another two due 
to rainouts. Thankfully she didn't look too rusty, as she played pretty well at 
second base and made good contact with the ball while batting. She moved to 
shortstop for an inning, but she wasn't too comfortable there and did not like 
it at all. Although the Holly Red team secured a 9-6 victory, the score probably 
shouldn't have been as close as it was. There was an inning or two where they 
got pretty sloppy throwing the ball around, allowing a few extra base runners to 
reach and steal at will. The important thing is that they did enough to win, 
moving them to 3-0 on the season.
