G2 - as the clouds started building to the West, we told the umpires we wanted to get moving, to get the game in… Chayla did a pretty amazing thing … even though I was pushing to go fast, Chayla caught herself going too fast, and losing focus.. she made a veteran move, and intentionally took her time between pitches, and got dialed in… that was a waaay veteran move! I never even thought about me pushing the pace would take a pitcher out of rythm and focus, so i give her credit for catching herself, and doing what she needed to do to be effective and dominant in the circle..when we took the lead in the bottom of the 2nd, and the clouds got darker, their coach started slow playing the game in order to drag it out. Actually a pretty smart move, as likely if the game was called due to weather, and we hadn’t made it to the fifth inning , it would be called a no contest, and likely not finished. With the way KSHSAA is set up, that would have given them less losses, so their winning percentage would have been higher, which effects post season seeding.. during the third inning, we started playing very aggressively on the bases, and stealing and risking extra bases, as we wanted to press a run rule…. They slow played, we pressed and got up 12-0, and knew we just had to get complete tbe fifth inning for it to be a complete game… in the top of the fifth inning as the clouds and lightning were squeezing the game out, i sent the first three batters up to the plate, and told them to bunt with a foot out of the box, which would immediately get them called out… top of the 5th, three up and three down in 3 pitches… and in the bottom of yhe 5…. Chayla methodically took her time in the circle and slammed the door shut striking out two, and retiring the third on a dribbler back to the pitcher! And we won by run rule… Baze Hogan, our secret weapon freshman, drilled a ball in the gap to right, and rolled to the fence, and she got an in the park HR, that kid cam fly!
