This year the IASAS Softball Tournament was held in Bangkok. The first day of the tournament was cancelled due to all the political unrest and protestors against the government, causing the Prime Minister to declare a state of emergency. Opening ceremonies were delayed, but once the games got underway, our girls were pumped and ready to play! They played six games in two days, beating Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Taipei, losing one game to Manila, and beating Bangkok in the championship game to bring home the gold. It was a 3-0 shutout and very exciting to watch! Our Singapore boys team also won first place, shutting out the Bangkok boys which was such a sweet victory!

Shelby and I celebrating
It was so incredibly hot on the fields that we went into the library at the International School of Bangkok to cool off (and nap!) between games

Lots of hugs and tears as the girls played together for the last time
