2015 BNGSA

Both girls played softball this summer in the Bloomington-Normal Girls Softball Association In Town League.  Shelby played 12U with the team Pick Me Cups and Morgan 10U sponsored by Stolfa's Pizza.  Both teams where pretty much the underdog in their leagues.  But they had fun and made some new friends.
Shelby missed most of the practices due to soccer and other commitments but it didn't take long for her to bond with the team.  Several of them are missing from this team photo and it was at this point that she decided to start playing in pants instead of shorts.
It was pretty chilly the night of Morgan's picture so she had sleeves on.  This girl doesn't show as much emotion as her sister but I think she had fun and made some new friends too.  During one of Shelby's games she hooked up with another younger sister and learned how to pitch- overcoming her hurt feelings and the decision that she wouldn't pitch because everyone laughed at her the first time she tried at practice.
