First, it was hotter than 2 rats in a wool sock today, so hats off to all girls and umps...
Game 1: runners on first and third, 1 out. Pop up to F4, catch, doubles off runner at first, but not before runner at third scored (without tagging up). Defense leaves field. Coach asks, does that run count? Yessir. (Let me know if you think I got that wrong).
Game 2. Bases loaded, 1 out. Pop up to pitcher, “infield fly” declared, catch, runner at third sprints home (no tag up), close play at plate, but safe, coaches screaming “tag her”, runner screaming “I touched home”, girls looking at me...waiting...finally pitcher goes to tag runner, who takes crazy path and I call her out for out of baseline.
Good times.
