I know there is a High School thread, so I thought I would start a JH thread.
Season so far is not what I was expecting. First game we got run ruled, 15-0. Second game we run ruled them, 15-2 I think. Last nights game we got run ruled again, 22-2.
DD2 is in 7th grade on the V team as the only 7th grader. Had no at bats first game, pitched to 2 batters for a total of about 5 pitches. First batter got a hit down first base line with a hard grounder that DD said F3 should have had. Next batter smashed a change up to F8, missed catch, ball kept rolling with no fence, HR and game is over due to run rule. I wasn't there, this is what DD told me.
Second game DD plays as F7 entire game. F1 is same as previous day. Pitched entire game, again. DD lays down beautiful bunt, called out on a strike that she watched, and was over her head but still a called strike. She heads to dugout laughing. Next at bat I honestly forget what she did, but she got on.
Last nights game (3rd game in row). F1 is same starting pitcher as previous 2 games. Girl is almost crying because her arm/shoulder is sore. Starts game. We score one run. DD is sitting bench. Other team is home team, their turn to bat. They went through their line up 2 and half times. Home runs and triples like crazy. I think there may have been 1 or 2 singles on bunts, rest were at least doubles. Score was ridiculous. Pulls starting pitcher and puts in DD. Gets 3 outs, ends inning. Next inning I think was 4 batters. 3rd inning, 2 outs. DD fires a FB, batter smokes a line drive right back at DD, blasts her in the left knee. Drops instantly. So we carry her of the field, grab some ice and get her to stop crying. Next inning comes up and she sees the other pitcher go out, and she starts crying again. I asked her whats wrong and she says "I feel bad cause I got hurt and cant pitch and I know her arm hurts". This kid. Blasted in the knee, already swollen and black and blue and she is worried about the other pitcher. Took her to the ER to get it checked out, thankfully xrays are good, just a bad bruise. Nothing till next Friday.
Not sure what team is going to do now, one pitcher being overused, crying on the rubber cause her arm hurts and the other out with a bum knee.
I know one thing though, DD is not happy about missing games next week. She said she will be able to hit Tuesday, our next game. Ugh....
