Softball Disaster

Cold and chilly here today. It is only in the 50's right now and it isn't really going to get warmer. It was cool last night on the softball fields. Chrissy had a doubleheader. She looked good out there. I guess they won both games. She said they did. Allie's team looked terrible. They beat themselves. They lost track of outs when they were in the field. They were throwing the ball around. They also like to try and tag runners out instead of throwing to the bases for force outs. Several time they tagged the runner only to then drop the ball!! I remember the one rule all of my coaches taught me about playing in the field: Everytime a batter steps in always ask yourself "If the ball is hit to me, where am I going to throw it?" I've told Allie that and some of the players on the team too. Their coach has told them too. Oh well. We dropped from tied for 1st to 3rd. The highlight of the game was Julie's homerun. It was a tremendous shot to deep center. The centerfielder had backed up but not far enough.
