    Enforce the rule or get rid of it!

    I know that I am beating a dead horse here but they need to either enforce the crow hop/leaping rule or get rid of it. I am so tired of watching pitchers (college pitchers in particular) break the rule and it not get called. Yesterday I was watching the WCWS game between Oklahoma and Washington...

    Talking to a D1 coach about transferring and a walk-on

    My DD is currently in her freshman year at a NAIA school 8 hours away, playing softball under a NLI. She is strongly considering transferring to a local mid major D1 school for mainly academic reasons. Her current coach knows that she is leaving - it is a small, newer softball program and he is...

    Okay - it's KILLING me!

    DD is playing her first college games of her career today and I'm not there. I have been there for every game of her pre-college softball career, keeping her batting stats, having the cooler full of water and healthy snacks, at the ready with helmet parts and extra leg guard buckles. It. Is...

    DD's TB career ends at Nationals with a bang

    My DD's TB career came to a close on Saturday at the USA Softball 18A Nationals. She had an amazing week, with a BA of .438, SLG of 2.125 and an OBP of .550 including 8 RBIS and 3 HRs in the tourney- two of which were back to back off of a very fast D1 signed pitcher (who's undefeated team went...

    DD's team checked in to the USA Softball Nationals last evening. Out of 15 bats, 4 were rejected, all of them Louisville Slugger. 4 Xenos, one LXT, all 2016... Thoughts?

    Anyone else traveling to the USA Softball 18A Nationals in Salem, Oregon next week? DD gets to finish out her TB career there. It's her first time to a National tournament so she and I are pretty excited!

    Xeno vs PXT for a power hitter

    I finally found somewhere that DD could demo both the 2018 Xeno and PXT in her size (34/26). An online supplier has their warehouse 1 hour from where we are playing Nationals and they agreed to let DD come over and swing both bats. I will let you know her thoughts on both!

    Trading Pins at Nationals

    As previously posted, DD's team is going to the USA Softball (formerly ASA) Nationals at the end of the month. I have been helping the coach by getting hotels arranged, getting trading pins designed and getting ideas for the gift that we are required to give each player of the first team we...

    ASA/USA Softball Nationals

    Help! ASA/USA Softball Nationals DD's team earned a birth to the 18U ASA/USA Softball National tournament with their tournament win at a qualifier this past weekend. I didn't think anything of it since the tournament is usually at least halfway across the country (we earned a berth last year...

    Winless Terps shock nation's top team

    My DD was fortunate to be able to take hitting lessons from Coach Wright for over a year. She is truly an amazing coach who taught DD as much about the mental aspect of hitting as she did the physical giving her the tools and confidence to be the hitter she is today.https://...

    The value of great outfielders

    It always amazes me how even at the HS level there are still some players that look at the outfield as punishment or that it means that they are "less than". If an infielder misses a ball it is a single, if an outfielder misses a ball it is at least double or a triple. Great outfielders are...

    Shoes for playing on a turf field

    Looks like DD's team is headed to a tournament this fall that will be played on 100% turf fields. DD is a catcher and has never played a game on turf. What shoes do you suggest - regular tennis shoes or turf shoes?

    Will warped end cap disqualify bat?

    DD is headed to the ASA state tournament this weekend. Friday night there is a mandatory bat inspection. We noticed that her 2016 Xeno's (warranty replacement that she has had since April) end cap is warped (for lack of a better term). Will this disqualify the bat?

    Should parents stay at camp?

    DD was invited to a camp at a D2 school after the coach watched her play at a showcase tournament this weekend. TB coach confirmed that they have openings in DDs position and are interested in her. The question is: should we (parents) stay for the camp? Or do the coaches prefer the parents to go...

The game was played on a city adult slowpitch field with a10' high chainlink fence that is 245' deep(according to the city and Google map measurements)-they put a portable fence up at 200' for the fastpitch games. DD cleared...
