had this happen @ pony nationals this week

[fastpitch7]

pa intensity.

the girl from the maryland stars was throwing a perfect game into the bot of the sixth against us. she allowed a single in the 6th and 1 in the 7th with 2 outs.

we must have had that same plate umpire, he took forever to make a call. there was easily a good 6 second delay before any call and i think he only said anything for strikes.

Yep, that's the blue.....only stuck up his right fist for strikes after a considerable delay.

Hope to see your team next year. I do not believe we ran into you this year. We only played 3 Pa. tourneys: Newtown, Oaks, and Pocono...the rest were Del. Virginia, and Jersey tourneys. Will your dd be 14U again? If not, we will play up in several tournaments, so maybe we will cross paths.

she's only 13 now. not sure what shes doing next year, most of her team has to move to 16u next year. i'm sure she wants to stay with her friends, but i think i would rather her play her second year at 14u.

we played mostly pa tournaments, 1 md tourny, and nationals.

maybe we'll c u at nationals next yr.

I have a brilliant idea! Have her tryout for the Jags . Not sure how far you are from Jersey, but we practice out of Pope John High School in Sparta, NJ (Northwest Jersey). We are looking for a couple of players. Tryouts this Tues and Wed. and next Tues. and Wed....great group of kids who are mostly 13, too.

It was said that the ball was in the catchers mitt or caught by the catcher ... and the ball was not dropped .... and the ball crossed the plate ... my question then is 'did the ball hit the ground and bounce prior to being recieved by the catcher?'

[fastpitch7]

no the ball left the pitchers hand and never touched the ground. it crossed the plate, batter swung, catcher made a clean catch. not sure how the field ump missed that, but i do understand that happens. i didn't understand all that happened afterwards. how the girls could leave the bases and what i thought was a baseline or basepath rule, and the tag applied by F3. etc..

Last weekend ... we had a double header scrimmage .... one of the Blues had to leave early ... I offered to do the bases in the 2nd game ... my parents quickly turned into blood thirsty Saxons on a close play at 1s in the first ... from there on out ,they rode my as* ... n WTF ... I rambled so long I forgot my point ... LMAOWIOAB! ... wutadipshit!

Where is your dedication to your dd and the sport

Good luck to you and your dd wherever you end up and I will be looking for you if we ever play the Pa. Intensity
