2004 My Bad

[Rachel]

To make new years' resolutions I think that we should admit to some of our mess ups in '04 so that we and others don't make the same mistakes. I have many but I can start with this one. For those of you who didn't make any mistakes this year, tell about anothers' mistake.

I had one of those fluff off the bat foul tip's in a high school game. The catcher goes for the ball and I called the out (thinking about the NCAA rule). Unfortunately, the runner at first who was stealing got picked off on the throw back to first. This is a good call in college and will be a good call this year in High school and ASA but not so good last spring.

The coach from the offensive team asked for time and as soon as that happened I knew my mistake. What I did was put a strike on the batter and since I was the one who put the runner in jeapordy, I placed her back on 1st.

What else could I have done? Is this what I should have done?
