Mikayla played softball for the Declo Hornets again this year and I am amazed at how awesome she played. I'm not just being the proud mother, either! She actually won several games by batting in the winning run. Several games, she hit EVERY time she batted. She was on fire!

To help cheer Mikayla on and give her all of our support at state, we all decorated our car windows. They came in 4th at state, but we are so proud of how hard these girls fought. The teams that took 1st and 2nd were really good! It's hard to lose your first game and come back and take 4th! No easy thing!
Mikayla was trying to steal home here, but about halfway, she knew she wasn't going to make it! She slid anyway! Points for guts, sis!

At the "D" Club awards, Mikayla won Best Offensive Player for her excellent betting average this year! The coach said that somewhere in the 300 range is good, but Mikayla had a 612! She has decided not to play next year and it breaks my heart to see her give up a sport that she loves so much! However, I have her back and will support her in whatever decision she makes. Love you, Mikayla (aka #4)!
