Old Friends, New Rivalry: My Softball Game Against the Old Squad

 Hi everyone! It's me, Bella, and this is my third blog post about softball!

Today was super special because my team played against my OLD team! It was like a big reunion on the field. I got to see all my old teammates, and it made me so happy! I waved at them and they waved back. Some of them even yelled funny stuff at me.
I played shortstop and third base. When I was at third base, my old friends were in the visitors' dugout and they kept teasing me. They said things like "Hey Bella, you abandoned us!" and laughed. It was playful razzing and it made me giggle. I yelled back "Sorry! But I'm having fun here too!" It was silly and nice to see them again.
At shortstop, something cool happened. A batter hit a hard line drive grounder right at me. I fielded it super clean – glove down, scooped it up, no mistakes! I was so proud of my defense! I tried to throw to second base for a force out, but my second baseman forgot to cover the bag. So we couldn't get the out there. That's okay though – I still got better at fielding today!
Now batting... I went TWO FOR TWO again! Yay me! One was a double and one was a single. Last game I hit both my hits through the right side of the infield, but this time BOTH of mine went to the left side. I think I'm getting better at hitting to different places!


We tried really hard, but unfortunately my team lost 4 to 2. Our record is now 1 and 1 for the season. It was a close game, and I still had the best time ever. Playing against my old team was awesome even if we didn't win.I love softball so much! Can't wait for the next game. Thanks for reading my blog!
Love,
Bella

Welcome to Bella’s Dugout Diaries

  Hi there, and welcome to Bella’s Dugout Diaries! My name is Bella , and I just finished my first season of softball at seven years old — and what a season it was! I stepped up to the plate 22 times and finished with a .800 batting average (that’s 16 hits!) and a whole lot of smiles. Every game, every practice, and every dirt-stained uniform taught me something new — about teamwork, confidence, and chasing my dreams. I started this blog (with a little help from my grandpa 💕) to share my softball adventures, the fun moments from the field, and all the lessons I’m learning along the way. You’ll find game stories, pictures, maybe even some videos, and a few behind-the-scenes peeks into what it’s like growing up with a glove in one hand and big dreams in my heart. When I’m not out on the diamond, I’m cheering for my heroes — the amazing Texas Longhorn women’s softball team! They inspire me to work hard, play smart, and always give my best. My dream is to wear burnt orange one d...

New Season - New Team

Hi there, and welcome back to Bella’s Dugout Diaries ! Yesterday (Wednesday) was my very first game of this new season and it was so fun! My team is called The Saints this year. It's a whole new team, not the same one from last year. I didn't know any of my new teammates until our first practice last month. But now we're starting to be friends and play together good. We played yesterday and I got to hit two times and I got a hit both times! Both were doubles! Yay! I also got 3 RBI which means I helped three of my teammates score runs by hitting the ball super good. That made me, and my family, smile a lot. I played shortstop some and then first base too. Shortstop is fun because you get to catch ground balls and throw fast. First base is cool because you catch throws from everybody. My batting was really great (my daddy says I'm a good hitter!), but I need to practice my catching and fielding more. Sometimes the ball goes past me or I drop it, so I'm gonna work hard...
