Samantha is now into girls fast pitch softball. She is shown here playing second base. Last night she was positioned at short stop.Sam led off the home half of the first inning hitting a 3-1 pitch, lining a clean single over the second baseman into right center. The next batter hit the ball about 6 feet up the third base line, but the catcher threw the ball into the outfield behind first base - Sam scored all the way from first.
On defense in the second inning, Samantha has been moved to shortstop, a runner tried to steal second. The catcher throws down, Sam takes the throw, catches the ball, and tags the runner out. Well, the runner kind of runs into the tag, but Sam gets her out. A nice play.
At her last at bat Samantha strikes out swinging.
She seems to be having a great time. So far she's taken a ground ball in the kisser, shins, and various other body parts and is still unafraid. She's even talked to me about learning to pitch.
