We have two weeks left until post season begins. In Indiana every team plays in a sectional and it is win or go home. So We could be done in two weeks from today.
Senior rounds second hard planning to head to third and defense realizes she is there after a play at the plate. They throw behind her and she dives back into second. Her right hand jams into the SS cleat and instant tears. I hear her from 3rd base coaches box. I run out to check on her and she can't move her hand. (Side not to all umpires, please do not come to a hurt player and try to diagnose the situation. Have her hear you say it's definitely dislocated. I may have been a little rude when I said can we just shut up right now?)
The only thing she said to me was, "Coach I can not be hurt now. The season is almost over and I need to finish."
We get home from the game and mom calls, broken hand and hair line wrist fracture. Career gone like that. Any players reading this enjoy every at bat every ground ball and every pitch.
