One for the team...

A couple of weeks ago, baseball season wrapped up for the year with a 3 day stretch of tournament games.
The tournament is the highlight of the year for the girls and Brittany was really excited to play! She had been a very versatile player this year. Her positions included all the bases , back catcher and pitcher. I think she enjoyed pitching the most.

However she was not meant to pitch at the tournament. The very 1st game they played, 2nd inning Britt was hit by the ball in the hand.
So instead of spending her tournament games with her teammates battling it out for the win, we spent it at our local emergency department getting xrays for a possible broken thumb. Her thumb had the classic look of being broken, the icky purple colour it quickly changed to and the fact that she had a hard time moving it along with the swelling that wasn't long to appear. However after 2 hours of wating the doc said it wasn't broken just badly sprained. He put a splint on it and off we went.
Brittany was determined to play the following day and was able to at least get up to bat if not anything else.......

The girls ended up finishing A division in 2nd place. They had a great year and as always Britt is looking forward to the season again next year.
The thumb??? Turns out it was broken, a week later we recieved a call from the same doctor who seen us in emerg that yes in fact there was a fracture.
So we have bought another splint for it just to protect it so it can heal hopefully properly...
It was a great year for ball and way to go Britt for taking one for your team!!!! Proud of You!!
