Grandpa Spud made it out to the High School diamond to see Peyton play a double-header against Bloomington-Normal. It got a little chilly so he had to get out his blanket.
Peyton's team lost the first game, tied the second. Grandpa got to see her smack one ball between second and center field, only to have the second base make an outstanding catch. The person on third tagged-up and ran-in to home to score because the girl who caught it threw it to third to try and get her out but third base missed it. She struck out a couple of times and walked the rest. She scored a couple of times while on base and Grandpa Spud got to see her slide into third once. She lovvvvvvves to slide. I think she'd slide even if she didn't have to.
She made the final out in the second game to keep the score tied. A fly ball to right field, both first and second were backing up to make the catch, she stepped-in at the last minute when they both pulled-back and stuck her glove out. She fell over but still managed to keep the ball in her glove.
Everyone cheered. Coach slapped her on the back and told her "Good catch, Peyton!"
