One of the good things about being 10 years old is a loss in a softball game isn’t the end of the world.
Especially if there’s a water park to go to the next day.
The Sizzlin’ Sisters, a 9/10 squad that brought together Central and South Whidbey players, absorbed its second loss in as many days Sunday, falling 12-2 to Sammamish in a loser-out game at the state tourney in Asotin.
But while the Sisters went two and out at the big dance, they did survive heat that climbed to 106 Saturday and made a ton of memories.
And now, as they head back home, they’ll hit the one place the girls really, truly care about.
“Water park tomorrow! The highlight of our trip,” said coach Mimi Johnson with a laugh.
