PGF Scores on www.pointstreak.com

If you haven't already, check out www.pointstreak.com! When you get there, select SOFTBALL at the top. Then click on the PGF LOGO.

I've got it locked on the 10u division scores. It's easy to click on teams to see roster/stats. You can click on the game in-progress and keep up with play-by-plays. It's pretty awesome. There may be compatibility issues on mobile, but the full web version is pretty darn cool.

I just wish they had updated bracket/schedules so we can have a nice visual on things. But it's OK, I made my own. 


Day 2 of bracket play is getting intense! Some upsets, some surprise performances ... it's interesting to see how this is playing out.

First Inaugural 10u PGF National Championships

The PGF National Championship tournament starts tomorrow! For the first time this year, PGF has invited select teams from around the country to complete in a 10u tournament. The caliber of talent that is descending upon southern California is undeniable. 

But what say you of the choices of teams? I can only speculate on teams from SoCal as those are who I've been most exposed to. Politics come into play here. Have the best SoCal travel teams really been invited? Or have favors been claimed to get their teams in this landmark tournament?

Something that comes into play here is the rule that only two teams from each "organization" were invited. But who scouted the teams on each organization to determine which two teams were the top ones? How does a rec ball select team get invited to this travel tournament when they played rec all Spring? I'm just glad that from 12s on up, you have to work to get a berth to next year's Nationals. it should be like that everywhere.

Lots of talk about a Texas team taking the whole thing. Diamond Sports Hotshots are coming in with lots of momentum after their sweep of the Triple Crown World Series in Utah last week. No doubt, talent is hot in Texas, but with lots of teams not appearing in PGF, I'm sure pickups were fast and furious before the dealine.

I'm always rooting for the underdog, whoever that is in this tournament, but we shall see! Can't wait for pool play (which don't have any bearing on your bracket position) to begin tomorrow!

Welcome to the wonderful world of softball


You'd think because I got started in the social media craze early that I'd have a rather established blog already. False. It made me less and less inclined to keep one up. But alas, I've found a subject matter that I am neither an expert nor a complete noob in: being a softball mom.

With all the reality TV shows out there, you'd think there would be one about the crazy life that is softball for a young girl and her family. But none currently exists. So I am here to shed light on and keep you entertained about the cut-throat life of softball...at least here in SoCal.

Hope you enjoy what you read. I will not be sugar coating anything, but rather telling things just as they are. At times you may find my stories inflated and unreal. Boy is that just the beginning.

Glad to have you along for the ride!
