    Slow-pitch vs fast-pitch

    My daughter is in the Navy and looking to join a co-ed slowpitch league on her base. She read that you have to have a bat approved for slow-pitch. But I also read you *can* use a fastpitch bat but you may not get as much from it as normal fastpitch. Should she try to buy a new bat for it...

    "You look like you play softball"

    My daughter left for Navy boot camp June 22nd. We're finally getting letters from her. Her last letter she wrote - on two different occasions she had girls come up to her and say "You look like you play softball" and she said one girl just calls her "softball" now. Found that pretty funny :)...

    All-Stars

    My daughter played in her local rec league for the Spring and also participated in All-Stars the last month or so. In the regular season her team went 16-0 (won the End of Season tournament). And she just played in her 12th All-Star game and also went undefeated (winning three tournaments)...

    All-Navy Softball

    Does anyone have any experience with the All-Navy Softball teams? My daughter is shipping out next week for Basic Training and she'll be in schooling for awhile after that but it looks like they can apply for it at the start of next summer. Just curious how competitive it is - it'd be cool if...

    End of Season

    DDs team had their End of Season tournament where they went 4-0 to win it. They ended 16-0 on the full season. DD ended with .650 BA and 1.775 OPS (again it's rec so pitching not as hard) - No Ks. We had another catcher at the start of the season but she was still very new to it so DD ended...

    Grand slam

    So my TB DD who decided to do Rec for her last season of SB (she's off to the Navy in June) has been having a good season so far in Rec. Her team is undefeated. They played their last regular season game today. We were up 6-1 early in the game and then due to some errors - the other team ended...

    Triple play

    Not my kid but my kid's team. We were up 11-6 in the top of the last inning. Pitcher walks the first two batters. So runners on 1st and 2nd. Next batter hits a pop up that goes behind the pitcher but she manages to get to it and catch it but meanwhile - girl on 2nd is way off the base so our...

    Interference call

    In a game this weekend, 2 outs - ball is popped up behind pitcher and 2b is unable to catch which appears to be because of the base runner running in front of her. Coached asked for help and it was eventually ruled interference. When I was watching - the way she ran to the ball looked super...

    Start of rec

    DD had quit TB after the fall and decided to just play rec for her final season (she graduates in May). She has some friends on the team luckily so that's good and has been meeting others. Some girls have been playing for years but for some they are semi-new to SB so still learning a lot. They...

    Quitting TB

    After the last fall tournament DD and her friend were having doubts about her travel ball team. One game she batted twice and played a total of 1 inning on defense. Similar in the next game. Last game of the day - came in and pinch hit and played 1 inning of defense. We have a 13 girl...

    Pitching from wrong distance

    So this past weekend's tournament. It had rained the day before and the field our team was supposed to play on had some puddles so they moved us to another field. Apparently this wasn't setup for our division. Top of the first - we go 3 up/3 down. Bottom of the inning, we got the first out...

    All-Region

    DD was told yesterday by her coach that she made 2nd team All-Region! 2 girls on her team made 1st and 3 made 2nd. Our region is pretty stacked (our #1 won State this year and is #1 in the Nation currently) so I'm so proud of her that she made it her senior year :)

    First tourney with new team

    DD played in her first tourney with her new team. They've only had 2 practices and not even with the entire team. We also were missing 3 girls but still had 10 at this one. It was a 4GG with 3 pool/showcase games with blind draw SE on Sunday. Won our first two games 2-1 and then won big in our...

    Weird scoring

    At DD's tourney, I was waiting for her game to start and was watching the game playing on the field before. I pulled up GC for one team to just see the score of the game. I knew at the moment their opponent was up to bat but when I looked at the plays, it showed the other team had finished...

    Calling off other fielders

    I was making a video of DD's hitting/fielding for this past HS season. She plays OF and RF primarily. I noticed about mid season, when a ball comes her way, she's started to like wave off the CF. When I showed her some of the videos, she said she didn't even realize she had started to do it...

    Obstruction?

    So during a State semi-final game. 7th inning. 2 outs. Batting team is down 3-1. Runner on 2nd. Batter hits line drive to center. Runner comes into home and they tag her out at the plate. Game over. Team says it's obstruction but umps say it's not. Obv it doesn't matter now and the run...

    The day has come

    Last night DD played in her last HS game. Wasn't the ending we were hoping for. But they made it to playoffs for the first time in 3 years and fought really hard. We made it in as the 4th seed so had to play #1 (the defending state champs). The first inning we gave up 3 and that is all they...

    Fun Double Play

    My kid's not really in this - she plays RF so she is one of the few players not involved in the play. But last regular season game and we had a fun 6-2-5-2-6-4-8-7 double play. Probably could be bad base running but with the amount of times the ball was thrown, I'm so proud of the girls for...

    No shutout

    So DD's team is in the same region as the #1 team in the nation and so far this team is undefeated. We'll have some good innings but then this team is just that good and we had never managed to score a run on them. Last night was our final game against them and I was just hoping maybe DD would...

    Strength of Schedule

    Was looking through the rankings on MaxPreps and they have the SOS for each team. While DD's team has one of the highest as one of the top teams in the nation happens to be in our region (yay), I saw some negative SOSs. I tried to read to see exactly how these are calculated but could not find...
