First bracket game of the season. We entered with 2 wins and ranked #2 out of 9 teams in the 14U division and were playing the #7 seed. In a previous post I mentioned that the fields we were playing on were multi use. A rectangular setup with the four backstops at each corner, huge outfield. What I didn't know is they were also setup for multi-divisional use as well. First pitch DD takes her normal stride and when she plants it looked like something jumped up and grabbed her foot. Her ankle buckles underneath her and she collapses in a heap. The idiots that setup these fields did not remove the 10U pitching plate they merely covered it with dirt. Her heel cleat caught on the plate and that is what caused her ankle to buckle.
#2 pitcher came into the game and pitched fantastic. Gave up 4 runs but her offense came up with run support and the defense played a tight 1 error game. We won 7 - 4 and advance to the semifinal tomorrow.
Good news. DD threw a strike on her one pitch of the game and the ankle is fine and she is good to go tomorrow.
