    Getting a rec team to hit

    At ten it could be as simple as loading when the pitchers hand is straight up at 12 oclock. Most girls don't load at release untill highschool age. Give it a try, sounds as it cain't hurt anything.

    Pitchers Beware~ a post about Being Ready

    Faster is good if you don't throw down middle of the plate. Middle of plate generally is right back at pitcher. Always think corners.

    The Mercy Rule

    There are other ways to show mercy than just stepping off the bag. Coaches who know the game would end up this way can use a pitcher that needs circle time, girls that are working on slap hitting that never get slap in a game get the chance, girls work on bunting ETC.

    Diving and awarding an error..

    Marucci echo

    Saw one the day at hitting lessons. Girl in front of us had brought one in still in wrapper. Her normal bat a ghost was used as comparison.

    Interference Question

    My bad, went back and reread OP. When stated ball hit to second was thinking second with short stop going to cover bag.

    Interference Question

    Question? As i read this the only way i can see interference called on runner is if she went out of her way to contact SS, otherwise SS could be called for obstruction.

    Shortage of Umpires

    Yes. Blew my mind. Was told state director and national agreed to allow any players affected to pickup with other teams if they wished even at this late date, even other state tournaments.

    Shortage of Umpires

    Was informed today about noon that State tournament at Tulsa Ok is canceld for lack of umpires. At about that time 58 teams started scrambling looking for some place to play.
