Apparently I did a good enough job earlier this week that I was invited back for a repeat performance. Much better game this time. My DD joined me this time and was the FU. She did a very good job. Made two good calls at first. My observations and comments:
1. Couple of batters got hits off the pitcher. The game is much more exciting when the batter hits off the pitcher and not the coach pitch. Wish more girls would swing and not just wait for the coach.
2. A foul tip to the chest off the coach pitch hurts. Rubbed dirt on it and got right back behind the plate.
3. Both teams had players that were head and shoulders above the rest. Literally, they were a head taller than the other players.
4. Gophers in the outfield distract the players. Reminder: speak to field chief about gophers
5. Left center fielder of the purple team can execute a perfect somersault. Would explain why she had no idea a ball was hit straight at her.
6. Is she high, is she low, is she fast, is she slow, is she in, is she out. And that was all in one pitch.
