The Fairfield 16u team whacked Richmond in their second meeting of the year, we lost track of the score at about 8-0 ... on a horribly humid night with the temperature in the low 90s.

Callie set a personal best with 17 strikeouts in her complete game shutout victory. Emmer finished her season with the Fairfield 16u team in fine style -- starting at shortstop and playing in right and at second, tagging a runner out on a steal, lining a single to center, scoring twice, and saving the shutout by backing up an overthrow of 1st while playing right and firing a strike to Caitlin at the plate. After a quiet first couple of innings all the Fairfield bats woke up and each player contributed to the win.

It was a fun season for -- and mission accomplished as here in her next to the last game with the team, this was Emmer's return to being "Emmer" -- playing with confidence again -- now, she can carry that momentum into the 2nd half of Rocket Ball... Thanks, Coach!
