Due to my lack of luck with technology, I accidentally deleted the bulk of pictures of June this softball season. It still feels like a kick to the gut. But I can attest to the fact that her skills were worthy of several team-induced shoulder hoists - even if they only took place in my imagination! She became a real pitcher this year. Diligent little June spent every afternoon in the backyard practicing her pitches and it really paid off. She threw some great games! Even though her coaches tried to give a couple of other girls a try at the pitching mound, it always came back to June to secure most of the wins with her tiny but deadly arm. Her batting, stealing, catching and sliding skills also grew leaps and bounds this season. I am still a little surprised that we created such a fantastic little athlete! In the end, her team took third place in tournament. Like most great athletic supporters, I believe they were robbed of at least second and a chance at first by some questionable reffing, but I couldn't be prouder of Junie B. She put her whole heart into it like everything else she does. She's a firecracker!
