Day #3 in Salem, and it’s a great day for Softball, but when isn’t it a great day for Softball ?

Linfield versus Simpson in an elimination game !

More 2 follow…..

Both clubs plate 2 runs 🏃‍♀️ in the second inning

There was no doubt on the Linfield bomb to left field. It flirted with clearing the back wall at 300 feet.

Wildcats plate 1 in the top of the third, leading 3-2. [11:45]

Storm respond with one of their own in the bottom of the 3rd.

Love the flag !

The amount of energy being generated by the crowd is impressive ! It’s not about how many people, it’s about how much heart.

Halftime score 3-3 ( Mid 4th)

End 4th [12:14], Storm lead 4-3….once again, great game !

It was fitting that we would need extra innings to decide this one ! Everything about this one was great for the sport !

Saturday morning 🌄 is here with a moment of silence for our Police community 🙏

Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear

While I try my very best to keep everything I do as light as possible in hopes of bringing joy and lifting spirits, an event took place last night in the southern part of our county that hurts in a manner that cannot be ignored.

Everyone who wears a uniform and protects us sits at the top of any list one could make. Whether it is the armed forces, state patrol, police officer, or sheriff’s department, our world is a better place because of their sacrifice for our safety.

I will borrow from the words of Ronnie Collins in hopes of updating our readers.

Thank you, Mr Collins

Have a Blessed Day 🙌 and say a prayer for everyone involved with this tragedy.
