    IL 3A state champs!

    DD's team, Montini Broncos are the IL class 3A champs! Down 8-3 going into the top of the 7th, the Broncos scored 12 runs to win the championship 15-8. DD single to right center drove in the tying run. Unbelievable comeback. The area newspapers called it epic. Set new IL record for most...

    Is it a money grab? Academic achievement games?

    Has anyone from the Midwest heard or participated in this event in the last couple of years? Wondering if there are legit opportunities to connect with coaches or if it's a money grab? Classic Softball Showcase TB coach recommended DD and, of course, we got a response from the organization...

    Monday Brag 9-18-17

    Our travel team hosted a round robin this weekend. The level of competition wasn't what our coach was hoping for, but DD went 7 for 12 with 2 HR and 2 doubles and had 7RBIs. Even though the opposing pitchers weren't that great, I'm hoping this brings her out of a slump she's been sitting in...

    2018 Easton Ghost

    Thanks folks! You can go back to talking about how the Ghost is such an awesome bat. She still thinks the bat is great and isn't affecting her head other then she said she twists the bat so the space is forward away from the ump. She hit the HR (with sucky low compression balls being used...

    2018 Easton Ghost

    Anybody know if they check for loose endcaps at ASA Nationals? What happens if they notice? Do they just tell you to put the bat away? Heading to Chattanooga in a couple weeks and DD is worried an umpire will notice. I did call Easton and they said we actually have 2 returns of the bat...

    2018 Easton Ghost

    DD used it in her second tournament this weekend and hit a foul ball off the end and the end cap separated some on one edge. We had parents telling me she shouldn't use it in case the whole cap popped off and one dad who said there's gas compressed in the barrel and the bat wouldn't work as...

    ASA gift exchange

    Going to 14u Nationals in Chattanooga in a couple weeks. I was reading the informational packet they posted and they mention a gift exchange after the first pool game. I brought it up to a couple other team moms and they don't want to put anything together until they know they other team is...

    Stories about the worst umpire calls. Sometimes you just have to laugh.

    Last weekend, 2 runners on base. Batter hits a curving fly ball deep to right field and it landed about 5 feet foul. Home plate umpire is pointing fair ball, so our runners keep running. After the play finished, the coach from the other team and parents are screaming that he ball landed foul...

    Anyone else counting down the days til travel?

    DD freshman was split between V and JV. She pitched on JV and only DP'd on V. Been playing V only the last 3 weeks so not really doing much besides batting. Back to travel this week, and she went to the first practice Tuesday with the team and told me in the morning how sore she was. She...

    How much is to much?

    DD is an 02, second year 14u. This year she is pretty much the only catcher on her travel team. She caught huge amounts in the fall. 8 games over one Saturday and Sunday weeeknd. Our 3rd baseman is the back up, but not only do we suffer behind the plate when she's there, we also suffer at...

    Exposure pitching etiquette

    Thanks for the info. I knew I would get sane answers from this crowd. Just starting this whole thing. DD doesn't even know if she wants to play in college but I want her to look her best either way. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    Texting Coach

    Our parent group was sitting in our usual spot down the first base line when a foul ball came our way and dropped between a couple parents. Coach texted us from 3rd base that we should have put a little more effort into catching it. I guess it goes both ways
