My first was yesterday 4/1. DIII DH...1st game 3-2, 2nd game 3-1 (8 innings).

Visitors won both games scoring all their runs in the last inning of each game.
Had plate in 2nd game, 0-0 for the first 7 innings before going to tie breaker in 8th.
21 K's in the game (13&8 respectively)...I rang up 7 of them. Only 3 walks.
Good pitchers (both games) and quiet coaches. An umpire's dream.

Great weather and more is forecasted for my DH tomorrow.

okay, no pranks, but this was my april 1st like weirdness. after many rainouts, my first couple of games were rather uneventful.

at the end of one game, I reach into my ball bag, only to pull out a completely clean unused ball, and realize I forgot to rotate the ball in between the first inning. how did I go a whole game on one ball? it was completely unused, so I guess I saved the home team $5.

as I was leaving the field, a guy comes up to shake my hand, and congratulates me for a great game. took me by complete surprise as to who he was, so I asked, are you coaching, or teacher or an administrator? he said, no, that's my daughter over there, she plays second, and points to F4 of the losing visiting team walking off the field. so I thanked him. I drove home wondering why everyone was so nice.
