    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.
