By jove, I think she's got it!

It took until the next to last game of the season, but Mallory finally found her groove. She got a hit both times at bat tonight - and on the first pitch each time! This is a major accomplishment, because her hitting hasn't been very strong at all this year. Her motivation? A trip to get ice cream if she hit the ball... and practicing for an hour with mom this afternoon didn't hurt either. We were all so proud! Everyone in the stands was cheering, and she was jumping up and down on first base - she was so excited. =)
