On the DL




Kellie played and lettered in three sports at Sandy Creek HS, and also played collegiate soccer for two years. Softball was not one of those three sports, but she has been playing in church, industrial and KSU intramural leagues over the past four months. She has done quite well, for never really playing much softball before. She has played at catcher, first base, second base, and right field.
This past Thursday evening was very interesting, though. Her team played a doubleheader, winning the first game after coming back from a three run deficit. The next game, however, proved to be quite challenging!
Tim Hudson, star pitcher of the Atlanta Braves, and his wife play on the Blitz Krieg team in Peachtree City. They played Kellie's Hoshizaki team in the second game of the doubleheader. Tim played shortstop, and he crashed two home runs over the leftfield fence (not a bad swing for a pitcher!). In the 5th inning, a Blitz Krieger sent a ball sailing at Kellie in right field. She back pedalled a bit, then decided to turn and track down the ball. Unfortunately, her right foot decided to go in another direction!
Well, after two hours at the Fayette Hospital emergency room, it was determined not to be a break! With her foot 'splinted' and wrapped, we headed back up to Kennesaw State University in the wee hours of the morning. Looks like Kellie will be on the disabled list for next week's game.
One consolation is that she got a high-five from Tim Hudson after the game!
