    Fun practice ideas

    Okay I have just realized that I will only have about six or seven of my 14u girls at practice tonight. We are in the high school gym so we cannot use bats or hard softballs. Softies and tennis balls only. I usually run a very structured practice changing the focus of the drill every 15 minutes...

    Hit or error?

    First pitch, batter pops up just on the foul side of first base. Fielder is in position but the ball pops out of her glove - foul ball. Pitch two batter singles to LC. Is this still recorded in the book as a hit or error since batter should have been out on the pop up. It created an interesting...

    Safe or out?

    Runners on 1st and 2nd, one out. Batter hits slow grounder between pitcher and SS. Pitcher fields the ball. SS and runner from 2nd tangle up. Pitch throws to 3rd, batter called out on force.

    Trickery like this anyways - I have never seen anything like this. My DD's team is playing (14U) and we have a runner on second. After a pitch the catcher throws back to the pitcher. Runner retreats to second. The opposing coach starts yelling "where's the ball! where's the ball!" and all the...
