last night's game

[Steve M]

Interesting game last night. Visiting team is probably the best in the league, should also win district title. Number one pitcher is throwing and she hasn't walked anybody, yet. Home team just used up their only decent pitcher in extra innings the night before, so they're throwing their JV pitcher. First home batter, 2nd pitch, catcher obstruction so off to 1B. Two pitches later, she's out for geting an early jump on a steal. Home team gets maybe 3 fouls through the next 5 innings, so nobody even gets to see what 1B looks like. Meanwhile visitors are up a bunch - not quite 10 though, so we go the full 7. Home team finally gets a hit with 2 out in the 6th - and it was a legit hit, but runner was stranded as the next batter heard 3 strikes go past (I don't think she saw them). Visitors score a pile more in the 7th and the home team goes down on 9 pitches. Game over. That was only the 2nd HS softball game I've gotten in so far - lots of college ball though & have #2 team in latest poll this weekend.
