    If I have to be 100%, I was worried that Jayden and her Mega Coney Island teammates would play all season long without getting a win. Part of the thought behind that was that this was a team made up entirely of girls. Another part of that was that several of them had never played baseball before in their lives. Yet another part of that came from the drubbing that the girls took in their first game, losing 14-2. Today the girls went on to the field and proved to me that they had exactly what it takes to be competitive and win a few games this season. The girls hit the ball well today on offense, and they were also strong defensively. Jayden struggled at the plate tonight, striking out in all three of her at-bats, but she made up for it by playing hard in the field, even contributing in an out by throwing the ball to the second baseman while in right field. In all she spent two innings in right, and two at first base. In fact, the girls played so well in the field that they were able to keep the opposition of the scoreboard, all while managing to plate 7 runs themselves! Way to go girls!
