DD had her first full game catching last night for varsity in our opener. She had caught 2 innings in a scrimmage and prior to that, one in her freshman year, and then it goes way back to 12U.
I was really proud of her performance even though she has a lot to work on.
She was 1 for 2 on steal attempts and the 2nd one was really close (ump said runner got under tag).
She had an assist when the outfielder overthrew first- it hit the fence and rolled...DD picked it up and threw her out at 2nd(one of the more exciting plays of the night
On the down side, she had 5 passed balls. I'm not exactly sure how those are recorded as one site says its up to the score keeper on determining this but balls in the dirt are generally not counted or balls thrown high and requires the catcher to raise up out of stance (this seems different than what I've heard) A lot of the balls were in the dirt last night and she definitely got better as the night went on with blocks. The pitcher had one wild pitch which I thought was generous LOL (13 SO) Our pitcher was in the paper for a strong performance in the game and DD was mentioned for a 3 run triple that put us into a "run rule"
She texted me that she's pretty sore today but really had fun last night. Thanks again to those helping a newbie learn this stuff!
