Stilly Valley, Marysville Little League
May 8th, 2009 at Fri, 8th, 2009 at 9:26 pm by DanielleLast night after catching nine holes of high school golf, I went to Arlington to catch some minor league little league softball. In addition to memories flooding back from my own little league days (pitcher-catcher-second baseman-outfielder), I was reminded of the hard work kids put in year after year to play competitive sports.
I had to post a couple of my favorite pictures from last night.
Stilly Valley softball player Nicole Huge celebrates getting on base against a team from Marysville Little League.
Stilly Valley Little League player Makenzie Leibel composes herself before releasing the pitch.
Marysville Little Leaguer Elizabeth Ripperger moved in from shortstop to pitch an inning or so against Stilly Valley Little League.
Outfielder Madison Elsner celebrates when her team tags for an out at home plate.
Danielle As my editor has reminded me, not all games have four quarters. But I'm naming this blog for the Fifth Quarter festivities that took place after every Wisconsin football game (my alma mater). From the Wisconsin marching band's website: "Win or lose, thousands of fans stay after to celebrate with the Band making The Fifth Quarter the Wisconsin Band's most beloved tradition." Likewise, I hope to celebrate the best of the area's teams and athletes here, regardless of the game's result.
