High School District Championship game three years ago. Batter squared to bunt, realized too late that ball was headed right at her. She pushed the bat at the ball, probably trying to protect herself, but got drilled and went down in a heap.
She rolled over with big tears in her eyes. I looked down at her and said: "young lady, I know that probably hurts like hell, but it will hurt a lot more when you know that I have to call a strike on you!"
She managed a weak smile, got up, dusted off, and dug back in at the plate. Smacked the next pitch to CF.
