The Blue team played the White team in a Parks and Recreation League Introduction to Girls’ T-ball League game July 1 at Holcom. T-ball games are meant to be pretty fun and cute, and this game was no exception. Both teams played hard as a raucous group of parents cheered loudly for the kindergarden-age girls.

Most T-ball spectators had seen it all by this point late in the season.

Joyce Curran, whose daughter, Emily, plays for the Blue team, remembers a game earlier in the year, where the bases were loaded and the batter hit a ball down the third-base line. Instead of coming home, the runner on third base fielded the ball. Curran’s daughter Emily plays for the Blue team.

“It’s been real fun, lots of laughs,” said Heather Turner, who was there to watch her daughter, Kenzie. “Usually about next inning they start playing in the dirt.”

Kenzie made a put-out at the plate at one point in the game.

After an hour, the high-energy affair came to an end, with both teams scoring their share of runs, though official scores are not kept according to league rules.

T-ball coaches often have as much fun as the players.

“It’s been great. I can’t complain a bit,” said Blue team coach Corey Turner about his experiences as a T-ball coach. “It’s nonstop, that’s for sure, for all the kids.”

Turner planned to take his players out for ice cream after the game.

White team coach Don Harris was impressed with his squad’s development this season.

“It’s just a lot of fun, a bunch of 6-year-old girls,” Harris said. “They’ve really grown this season, physically and mentally. They pay attention pretty well. I didn’t see too many sand castles out there.”
