2) Same girl, steps onto the plate with hand separate, ball is in her hand. transfers the ball to the elbow crock of her glove arm, wipes sweat from her brow (it was a heat wave a nearly 61degrees) wipes/doesn't wipe her hand grabs the ball, takes sign, brings her hands .... illegal or not?

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.
