League Championship series (best of three), against DDs first TB team (she wanted to beat them bad, split against them in DH during season), game two (DD missed game one, sinus infection still lingering for this game, aggravating her asthma).

3 or 4 fly balls caught in outfield.

1st AB, hits a monster fly ball to CF, lands about 15 feet from fence, RBI standup double (if DD is healthy, its a triple) to bring in first run of game. 2 PA she walks and subsequently scores (3 of 4 balls were high and inside ;), told her that meant they were scared of her)

5th or 6th inning (we play 7), up 4-3, rocket ground ball up middle, DD fields it in CF, throws out runner trying to score from 2nd at the plate for third out, "and the crown goes wild", great on line one hop throw. she said she did not even look or aim, just fired, told her that is perfect, she has played enough, she knew where she was and where home was.

we play again tonight, deciding game. league dictated we play tonight, 3 in a row in real heat, and we have tourney this weekend (thankfully first game is 11 AM). I think coaches should ask league when they are picking up the girls unis to wash them and return to us in time to get dressed for 2nite ;)

follow up, went to USSSA Nationals in No VA last week, in bracket play (double elim), behind the plate, Dd throws out not one, not two, but three runners trying to steal second. I guess the coaches fell for it, her throws do not look at that hard/fast, but she has really quick release, throws on a line to second or one hops them, ball nearly always about 6-18 inches above 2B just to 1B side.
