Did you ever play softball below 40 degrees with ice pellets bouncing off your body? Brrrrrrrr

Well, Miss T opened the scrimmage season vs a State Championship school and faced off vs. probably the returning #1 pitcher in the county. She held the lead 4-1 in the 4th, until she couldn't feel her fingertips and just plain gassed out. Great start though,  she also went 1/2 with 2 ribbys. New coach, new attitude and no seniors, juniors to  frosh. Tons of talent. Should be fun !!!

Note to boot, a combined 9 players from both schools play Travel Ball on the same 18u Team during the summer, even more fun!

Not softball, but baseball, yes. And as I was catching, I had a few pellets coming through my catcher's mask hitting me in the face. It was a little distracting. Also, it wasn't a fun time to be using an aluminum bat.

Good luck to Miss T!

Had my first scrimmage in similar weather, with 20 MPH winds. My hands were dark purple by the 4th inning. Fortunately I didn’t have to play the field. I walked in my only PA and we lost 7-2 to one of the top teams in the state, but it was 3-2 going into the 7th. We play on the road on Friday and supposed to be freezing again. Good luck to Ms. T.
