Coach thought I was looking for illegal acts -- well duhh.

Bob, they've already had SPRING in other places, so they didn't understand the nearly 61 degrees deal.
I actually had a pitcher today (5/15/09) say it was HOT. Of course, we were playing on ARTIFICIAL TURF, which we all know makes things even hotter, so it was a good 65 degrees at the field today. So warm that I didn't even take my coat out of the car!
This weekend the temperature is supposed to get into something called "The 70s." I missed them first time around.
Oh. The #1, definite IP. It will be called in the playoffs. I know. I had the game winning RBI in a state tournament game (third place game) over this very thing. They did score two more runs later in the game, so I didn't have the only RBI, just the first one. I had called this same thing on same pitcher earlier in the tournament (day before), so it's not like she didn't know.
#2, I got her wiping her brow because she's sweating. Otherwise, nothing.
