NWR vs Brandon Girl's Fast Pitch Softball

Several years ago dear friends of ours took on the responsibility of taking care of a newborn girl until their parents could straighten out their situation. That young baby is now graduating from high school this year and plans to enroll at the University of Mississippi in the Business Department. My how time can fly!
Lauren attended a local private school until her senior year and transferred to the local high school to finish. Her position on the fast pitch softball team is pitcher and she has been working with a pitching coach to improve her skills.

This final home game of the senior was appropriately called Senior Day to honor their four senior players. Once that was completed, the game began.
Lauren pitched three innings, but her team was behind by three runs. Another pitcher for the team and two more runs by the opponent.

While the outcome of the game wasn't what Lauren's wanted, we were proud to watch her play the game.
She probably won't play softball in college, but we'll get to visit with her when our travel plans take us to Oxford, MS.
