A little blood and some toughness

[Greatdaytobeawildcat]

Played with 9 yesterday, and with our starting SS out, DD filled in admirably...
got spiked on a steal - cleat to the knee, some blood and some tears...coach asked her if she wanted to sit...no way, coach, we’ve only got 9 players....one batter later, another steal, stood her ground with a nice tag for the out.

A small moment, but proud of her.

Amazing what happens when you rub a little dirt on it

It also helps if you're winning. Nothing hurts as bad and it's never as hot or as cold when you're ahead.
