Warming up...
"It’s always about wanting to one-up myself from the day before.
There’s never an absolute 100% perfect performance,
but going out and striving for that perfect performance is what keeps me going."
~~Cat Osterman, Pitcher, Team USA
I've lost track of how many uniforms Ashton has worn.
With all of the sports she has played and all of the teams,
we tried to count as she played late into the evening.
Before the field lights went on and after the sun was finally behind the trees,
I took these shots through the fence.
She had finished her season with the Capital City Chaos,
and was invited to help the Mattoon Pride when they lost a couple of girls.
She loves her new coach, Wade Bradley, and we love the smile on her face.
On this day, they won all three of their games
and on Sunday, she leaves with her team to travel to South Carolina where they will continue their season.
Good luck and safe travels, Ashton and the "Pride"...
