Nothing makes me cranky like some good old favoritism towards the boys.
So to get things started i give you Kearns High School in Utah.
Softball
And Kearns baseball
Tell me that's not some inequality.
Story from a mom whose daughter went there is that two Baseball players made a bet...
We were talking post game, our catcher had lined the pitcher in the thigh. Talking to her parents about her hit, they told the story that last year, before we joined the team, she hit a bomb over the fence.
As she's rounding third there is a little boy crying out past the fence.
Her bomb...
Ok. This was new. Runner on one. Batter pops out to right center, ball is caught and batter heads to dugout. Center fielder throws to 1st and the ball is missed and hits the batter that is almost too the dugout, she did try to evade the ball but failed. The runner was called out due to...
We've been told two different things now.
Runners on base, catcher calls time and goes out to the pitcher. No coach goes out. Can the runners leave their bag to talk to the third base coach?
We've had an umpire send the girls back and another that said it was fine.
Is there a rule...
Last year's cleats vs this year's.
The old ones lasted over a year. She is a heavy dragger, and if she hadn't worn the metal down to a nub they would be good for quite awhile. Except for the smell.

Watching a replay of the Jacksonville V Stetson game from the 28th.

The batter fouls off...
I just received an email saying that Zepp has added softball specific support to their app. Sure nuff there is an update today.
Anyone seen the changes?
Watching a 14u tournament final game. The sun is setting behind home plate. Bases loaded. The batter hits an incredible popup, the ball is coming down nearly vertical, maybe 20 feet from the 200 foot fence. The right fielder seems to angle slightly to the side to keep the sun out of her...
Heard last night that a local (Northern Utah) 12u team folded when the AC took the pitcher and catcher to another team. Everything I know is third hand, but I believe they were a 10u team that aged up to 12u.
Anyone else seen any 2015 teams close shop already?
I am confused about the "only stop once" part of the look back rule. If say a runner has left first and for some odd reason they give the ball to pitch does the "only stop once" part of the rule mean that if the runner never brakes stride and doesn't stop could she continue all the way to home...
