Come to think of it, if the home coach in my first story was smart, he could have told his girl to step on the plate and bunt the ball. But he had to try to accomplish in 3 pitches what he could have done in one.
I had one girl step in front of the plate and bunt the ball 3 times in 2 games this w/e. She was playing 12U but looked like a 9 or 10 y/o who couldn't do much else but bunt and her coaches told me nobody's ever called her on it. But at least they understood that she needs to fix that problem.
I guess the fall is the time when some of these teams break in the girls that are just rising to the next level but this 10 y/o wasn't quite ready for the next level.
