Running 40:00 [3]
Quick Killarney loop between taking Annika to school softball in the morning, then out to Blacktown for her Japan tournament.
Big weekend for Annika. Softball NSW run a tournament out at the olympic softball stadium with 5 teams across NSW City, NSW Country and ACT up against the Japanese U15 national squad (2 teams).
At the end of the weekend they pick an allstar team to play against the Japanese A side which Annika managed to get herself picked for. Played in a proper stadium with crowd and national anthems before the game. Very cool.....even allowing for the subsequent flogging they got from the Japanese.
I've often wondered how hard the pitchers throw in Annika's games, and had my question answered this time with a speed gun that showed each pitch on the scoreboard.
The kid that Annika catches to is throwing at 90 kmh....underarm.
