Ok, gotta tell this on myself....
Doing a college double header. Plate on first game, only one minor
problem. Left handed batter at the plate. Change-up pitch on
its way. She turns body so that knee is over the plate and gets
hit. Starts to 1B. I call dead ball strike. Coach comes to me -
"Blue, the ball hit her and she was in batter's box!" So, what is
your point coach?" "That's a HBP," "Ball was in the zone coach"
"Dead ball strike"
Second game - 3BU. The Embarassing Moment......
Line drvie towards left field. I turn to go out,
ball is foul my inches. Start up with my hands, start to yell "foul"
my new full bottom plate starts out of my mouth. I grab it with my
right hand, signaling towards foul terrority with my left, and cannot
say anything, nor in this position can I raise both hands to indicate
"foul". Offensive 3B coach starts getting on my a** because I
did not correctly indicate or yell "foul". Hell, I did have my
back to the infield and left hand pointing towards foul ground.
What more could she ask?
