Funny story - in the thread I threw out the AD the game was won on an intentional walk. I guess it's one of those "things" coaches neglect to teach. R1 on 2nd and good batter up - bottom of 8, score 0-0. Coach tells catcher to walk the batter intentionally so I stand there waiting for her to do the tradional "stand up" thing - she SQUATS and calls for the pitch-out. The first one is very high and she stands and catches it. I looked at the coach to see what he was going to do - nothing. She squats again and calls for the PO - this one isn't nearly as high . . . at least until the batter hit it for a 2-run homer!
