This summer has been one of the best of my life so far, so I was slightly disappointed when I glanced at our schedule the other day and realized we are down to just six regular season games left. This summer has gone way too fast for my liking. With all the long stretches of games the summer seems to have disappeared. It seems like only a few days ago I was racing home from school in Aberdeen in order to make our first practice.
We’re heading to Pierre tomorrow for two. They should be interesting games, as we will play them in the first round of the regional tournament. After that all we have left is two against Williston who gave us two good games up there last week and then one last road trip to Sheridan before the tournaments start. Hopefully these last few weeks will be as much fun as the rest of the season has been.

We went over to Gillette today for 2 games that didn’t go real well.  However, tough losses like these ones help to show a team’s true colors and what I found out tonight is that I have a couple of absolutely amazing teammates.  Not only was it a poor series for us as a team, but also a frustrating one for me personally.  Every inning though, I had at least one teammate come and talk me down and make sure I was ready to help the team for the rest of the night.  Our guys really have started to put the team way ahead of themselves.  Tommy Berg in particular has been a great presence for us this year.  He has a way of keeping things loose, but at the same time has no problem making sure every single one of us are playing our butts off every inning.  Our entire team is really coming together and playing for each other rather than themselves.  It is fun to watch and I’m glad to say I’m a part of this team.
