With this last double header, it was senior day. We wanted to make sure the guy with the deepest voice did the announcing to make sure everything went perfect for those seniors. I helped do scoreboard and I did the music as well. This is when my multi tasking skills came in handy. Throughout all the games, we did crowd control but no one got out of hand except for one guy and we had to tell him he needed to walk away and calm down and he continued to watch the game. We had no problems. Tiffin lost 3-2 the first game. Tiffin lost the second game 8-1.

So today, I had to get out of my comfort zone. I hate giving presentations, let alone announcing players names at the games. There was this guy there that kept reminding me, "remember no one can see you or see who you are so they have no clue who just messed up there name." All I could think was, yes, but I am the only girl up here with a bunch of men. This game I announced at the names of the player of both teams. I had to announce the team, along with each player and their positions. During the game I had to announce the players number and their last name as they game up to bat. I also helped Jordan learn how to control the music. Tiffin won 6-1 the first game. Tiffin lost the second game 2-1.
Softball is very simple. I can say this because I know a lot about the game and I enjoy attending the games as well. I was responsible for crowd control, and I helped run the music for each player while the two others took control of the stats, announcing, and the scoreboard. I was in charge of playing the National Anthem. I was in charge of playing music for warm up, and in between innings. Also, each player had a song of choice for when they walked up to the plate. This game was the breast cancer awareness game and the Tiffin team wore pink jerseys. This was a double header game. Tiffin won the first game 5-3. Tiffin won the second game 3-2 after playing extras innings making it an 8 inning game.
This invitation was held at the Mohawk Country Club in Tiffin, Ohio. The actual invitational was Sunday and Monday of April 12th and 13th, but on April 11th there was prepping for the players. On April 11th the players had a practice round. Then on April 12th they had the round 1 of shotgun. April 13th was round 2. The day started with setting up the driving range. We had to set up the signs and pick up golf balls. After that was all set we had to set the actual golf course with snacks and drinks for the players. At the end of the day we collected scorecards and posted the scores. Throughout the whole day we had to go around and attend to players needs. Rode golf carts to make sure everything is in line and that everything is where it needed to be. At the end of the day we had to take everything down and clear up the course.
Today, I came in to meet with Brittany. I introduced myself, my major, and what exactly I was there for. She had asked me what I was looking for and I basically told her anything to do with game management to get my hours that it did not matter what it was. So, she had me right then and there get around her flags, and signs on top of getting the scorecards ready. She explained to me that I will be doing set up and tear done then little things in between. Then at the end she would teach me how to do the scores and record them. She showed me a little bit there but would show me more after the golf outing.
I went to a golf outing not knowing a thing about golf. I can say now, though, that I now know a little bit about golf, but I am by no means a professional. I had to help with set up and tear down. All the flags needed to be placed. Signs needed to be put out and then had to pick up golf balls in the driving range. It was a shotgun outing. It was a lot of walking and driving a golf cart.There was some down time for me, but I was able to experience a golf outing which I thought was neat..
