Tnt, you really need to pump the breaks for your kid's sake.
Many are telling you to slow down and let her heal, including fricking doctors, and you just blow by those recommendations with a "thanks guys, I'm really watching her closely".
I also see you refer to her as "we" a lot.
There is no "we", it's about her, not you.
I know it's exciting for you to see your daughter play and play well, but I also cringe reading some of your posts.
Say what you will about Sam on here, but one thing he is correct about is your kid will tell you whatever you want to hear because she wants to please her parents.
Sorry to sound like the old guy saying dammit you kids get off my lawn, but I was there, Spaz was there, PR was there, and we all wish we would have slowed it down a little as our kids progressed through travel and college.
I shake my head remembering pushing my kid through 14 u nationals, making sure she took her 4 advils every 4 hrs to get passed her chondromalacia patella pain. I convinced myself it was ok because you can take that much advil up to 10 days straight according to the bottle...
I wish the best for your kid, but the minute she feels like softball is a job, you have lost her.
The journey speeds by in the blink of an eye, and there will be plenty of time for softball to be a job, so let her be a kid too right now.
JMHO as always...
Deserve's got nothin' to do with it.
