With insincere apologies to those offended by off-topic, unrelated posts, yesterday the Official Oldest Daughter of Env-Econ's (a 15 y.o. sophomore varsity softball pitcher) threw a one-hitter in the Columbus area sectional tournament while helping herself at the plate with a solo homerun in the 6th. Here's the box score:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dublin Jerome (12-11) | 001 | 001 | 0 | — | 2 | 6 | 1 |
Briggs (18-3) | 000 | 000 | 0 | — | 0 | 1 | 4 |
Haab and Kendall; Estep and Morro. HR: Haab (DJ) 6th, none on.

At the beginning of the season, OODEE set three team goals for the year: 1) beat both of the local rival high schools, 2) finish the season at .500 or better (last year the team was 2-18), and 3) advance past the first round of the sectional tournament. Goal 1 was sort of accomplished--2 wins against rival high school A and a rain shortened, 3-inning, 2-0 suspended game against rival school B. With yesterday's win over the Columbus City League champion Briggs, goals 2 and 3 were accomplished.
Next up, the number 6 team in the state--who they lost to 4-3 earlier in the season.
