10U DD just had 2nd Rec ball game last night (also plays TB on weekends). We are treating Rec as somewhere in-between her pitching practices and TB. Our rules state rec can only pitch 2 innings per game. So, after 4 innings of pitching in two games, she has 11 strike outs, given up 1 base hit, and 1 run. Now, I know rec ball is low competition here, and she is about a B level player normally, but being able to succeed against lower talent sometimes fuels her passion to keep playing, and to keep pitching. Plus, she enjoys hitting doubles and triples against slower pitching. The odds are probably against her to get a scholarship for college, but if I can keep her loving and playing the game for as long as possible then I must be doing something right.
