DD's high school team played a conference game last night against their cross-town rivals. The opposing team uses city fields for home games. When we got to the field I noticed that they only chalked the outside of the batter's box-not the inside line. I thought it looked weird but just set my chairs up and settled in. Pretty soon it became apparent what the plan was - stand right up on the plate and lean into the screwball that our pitcher throws. After she hit a couple my DD (catcher) asks the umpire to draw the line because they (her and the pitcher) have no idea where it is. The umpire just looks at her and says "they are in the box". DD respectfully says "okay that's fine but could you please draw it so my pitcher can see it. We don't know where it is". He finally draws a line with the hitters bat right next to the plate. Quite a frustrating evening.
