I generally carry a bottle of water to every game especially after it warms up. When it gets hot the bottle becomes a quart water cooler, and for a DH on a real hot day I have a half gallon water cooler. That is unless it is a tournament and the tournament folks are real good at sending some pretty little teenager out with a bottle of water every 2 or 3 innnings. I have also carried a small bottle of water (4 or 5 ounce size) in my left side ball bag. It's about the same size and weight as a baseball and makes a drink readily available. When it is REALLY hot I carry a separate smaller cooler with crushed ice and water and a couple of blue rags to whipe down with every so often. I put a teaspoon of spirits of ammonia in the slushy water.
Water is generally all that is needed for HS ball because the games are before summer and they are late afternoon or early evening games.
