Softball season started off with a bang. Ashley was pumped to be back out there, she was taking batting lessons, and we really felt this season was going to be a big hit!
Once of the main reasons we got Jeff's camera was for softball. The long-range lens excels from behind the backstop. This is my favorite shot of the season. Ashley looks so tough, buff, and ready to eat that ball up!
She was playing a lot of infield, mainly 3rd as that's her favorite infield position. Here she's making that long throw to first to get the girl out!
Unfortunately, she only played 3 games and then sprained her ankle pretty severely which took her out of the game for over a month! Here she is running right before she sprained it, attempting to slide into 3rd base to avoid the tag on her steal.
After the month break, she came back and worked extra hard.
She played any position the coach put her in and had fun.
We went to the ASA Softball Day at Petco Park and got to walk the field before the game!
Despite her injury, she was able to make the 3rd All-Star team. She was able to play a lot of 3rd base and overall had a great season.
Here she is getting a hit at their away tournament in Irvine.
She was one of 2 girls to make contact against the team that eventually won the entire tournament!
She got the No Fear award because no matter where the coach practiced or played her, she went out there, gave 100%, and never hesitated.
We're so proud of her!
