Foster City Force - Redwood City Tournament


Foster City 8U Softball Team "Force" finished our Redwood City tournament over the last weekend. We played 4 games during the series. Other than the game with Redwood City Wicked, in which the experience and skill gap was a bit obvious, other 3 games were really fun and interesting. The girls had a lot of fun and so did many of the parents.

Abby had not been very focused during the games since the San Mateo tournament. So, I decided to bribe her with some rewards for good performance. Man, the difference was significant. On Sunday's game, she struck out one player, gave 2 trikes to 2 other players before giving to their coach pitcher with 4 balls. She caught the infield fly as a pitcher and almost got a foul tip as the catcher. Her batting was also more aggressive. I guess a pro doesn't do things for free. Hahaha.

It was a good tournament and should get the girls ready for the upcoming Burlingame tournament in the father's day weekend (6/19 - 6/21), in which they'll play 5 games in 2 days. As a father, I'd just enjoy some bbq on the sideline.
