My first game this year lasted 2:45 and I did not feel comfortable at all. One team was making many pitching changes and aorund the 5th inning, when the 4th pitcher went in the HC told me he had lost his 1 and 4 pitcher due to mono and they would be out for 3-4 weeks. I was aware they played a game the day before and probably used their 2 man or maybe 2 and 3, so basically, they were having pitching tryouts, 5 pitchers used in a 7 inning game. After than I didn't feel so bad, because I was having a hard time finding strikes.

The second game was also behind the plate, one team one run in the first and that was all the scoring in a 1-0 game. The winning pitcher pitched a 1 hitter and the loser a 3 hitter and both pitchers were throwing strikes.

Both games were varsity 4A schools (highest class in the state).

So I think you can get in the groove quickly but it depends on the quality of pitching.
