    Bat boy dies

    Prayers to his family and the team. I can't imagine what they are going through.

    Uniform #'s

    DD wears 37. Was # 7 when she was younger - picked it when she was 7. Moved to a team that already had a 7, 17 and 27, so went with 37. She has always said her grandpa was her lucky charm. One day, he mentioned that 1937 was the year he was born. She had no idea, but won't consider any other...

    Anyone from Columbia, IL.? My friend passed away.

    What a lovely memory, Amy. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend.

    3B or 2B

    Both positions are important, but I'm not sure what kind of games you're watching if you believe 2B only covers 1st on bunts and tweeters. 2B moves on every single play. Typically will cover 1st on bunts and tweeters, yes, but 2B coverage is different depending on plays called, how many runners...

    Going through a tough time

    My DD went through something similar a year ago. She got so confused as to what she was supposed to do, wanted to do, and could do that she panicked and decided she wasn't going to do anything. She had several offers from D1 and DII schools and just let them go. She decided at the beginning of...

    Signing Day

    It is a small world. They have a fairly small signing class this year. PM me with your friends' daughter's info. We only know a couple of the girls in her signing class. DD is looking forward to meeting all of them.

    Signing Day

    It's official! DD signed her NLI today. It's nice when your DD's hard work is rewarded. It seems like she played her first parent pitch game yesterday. I'm proud of her and the young lady she's become.

    Strange call ;-)

    I wish I would have seen that Cannonball. It was really nice to meet you. Unfortunately, my DD had to work that day and didn't get to stick around to watch the game I did. She just finished her HS career (1st team All Conference again). It was nice to have her finish strong, since a year ago she...

    Composure

    My DD has always been harder on herself than anyone else has been on her. She's a perfectionist. When she was younger and made a mistake or things didn't go her way, she didn't throw a fit or throw things, but you could tell she was mad at herself. She just looked really intense and got quiet...

    How is Fall High School Softball Going for Everyone....?

    In DD school, talent and hard work do make a difference, Jr/SR, not so much. It just happened that these 2 classes followed each other, allowing this group of girls 3 years to play and develop together. They were hoping all their hard work would take them deep in the post season this year. it...

    How is Fall High School Softball Going for Everyone....?

    DD team had a nice season going. Undefeated in conference. Ranked in the area's top 10 for the first time in years. Most talented Jr and Sr class the coach has had. Unfortunately, only travel ball pitcher on the team tore her ACL playing soccer the week before districts. Lost in the semi finals...

    Proud moment :)

    Our school resource officer loves to tell the story of when DD was in 8th grade, she's a Sr in HS now. He was refereeing the middle school football tourney. My DD came into the game, with her team on defense and happened to be the only girl on the field for her team at the moment. A tall kid on...

    Anti-Slap Hitting Coach.....

    The best hitter on my DD team started as a lefty slapper. Very good speed. She did nothing but slap or power slap for a few years. She became an expert at placing the ball and controlling her contact point. She had a lot of doubles and a few HR. In 16U, she started working hard on swinging away...

    Cheer Mommies

    My daughter is both softball player and cheerleader. Unfortunately, the cheer leaders often get booted from their designated practice space for other sports/activities. This is especially true if it rains and the football or baseball teams need the gym.

    Meniscus Tear

    Lots of good information. Depending upon where/how it's torn, a PRP shot (Platelet Rich Plasma) may be helpful. My DD has a whole in her medial meniscus caused from the kneecap floating and wearing it away. She's had 2 shots and found them helpful. The ortho said surgery on a teenager would be...

    catchers interference

    When a batter is awarded first base, due to Catcher's interference, is the batter charged with an AB?
