It turns out that Carrie Underwood is a pretty good softball player, as she landed one of the biggest plays of the game at Wednesday nightà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s 19th Annual City of Hope Celebrity Softball Challenge with an RBI double for her Grand Ole Opry team.

Carrie’s team went on to defeat the competing After MidniteTeam 11-5.

The softball challenge, an annual charity event to help benefit City of Hope, a comprehensive cancer center, is one of the events that kicks off the big CMA Music Festival, beginning today in Nashville.

    She’s all kinds of adorable. Even to this non-country fan. Who finally broke down and bought In a Dream and So Small. Damn you 19Entertainment and your evil machine . . . of cute girls playing softball to country music.

    ETA: Just a Dream, not In a Dream. IAD was the awesome song performed by the awesome Bo Bice, whom Carrie broke my heart by defeating.

    Watched the 2007 vid and looking at the picture above. Looks like she has put back on a few pounds….and she looks so much better. I really wish we saw more of this side of Carrie. I like being “prettied” for TV etc. but I don’t like it so much when she becomes a little too Barbie dolled. Oh well, to each their own.

    All around the country, a million teenage boys just fell deeply in love with Carrie Underwood. Cute girl who looks great in a skirt and not only likes sports, but can actually play them too? Next thing you know she’ll say she likes comic books. :cool1_tb:

  • kamokun

    LOL! Go Carrie!

  • leome

    I want her legs!!
    I don’t dig country music, but I like her song Last Name, that one is funny, so is Before He Cheats.

    She looks really adorable there… and there’s nothing like having fun and supporting a cause at the same time!

  • hermy

    lol! That’s awesome and really great that she did it

    Seriously. Carrie always looks great. But man, that outfit is adorkable.

  • NYCSlain

    Look at her skinny little legs and those cute little shorts! Ha!

  • GlambertGal

    Does this girl ever have a bad day?
    Has she ever had a zit? A bad hair day? Bloated? Anything?

  • houstonrufus

    I’m starting to think this girl was hatched out of some pod or something. Is there anything she can’t do well and look great while doing it? Seriously. She kills me.

  • mandabutter

    Soooo in love with this girl! I don’t know why she doesn’t sell 30 bazillion records every week?!?! Carrie’s albums are constantly on my playlist. I mean “Flat on the Floor” — I kill with that while on the treadmill!! lol. Thanks Carrie!!!!

    I’ve seen her live twice (unfortunately not headlining but at fairs and the CMA Fest last year still incredible tho). I wish I had the opportunity to see her shows more often. She is spectacular. Huge country fan here!!
