Spring training

Darby's softball team starts practice on Tuesday (at least a week after everyone else started practice). Upon the conclusion of the fall season in October, the coach promised we'd hit the batting cages once a month during the off-season. That didn't happen, for reasons not known to me, but I wanted to shake Darby's hitting cobwebs prior to things getting underway, so I took her to the batting cages myself today. I put at least 100 balls through that pitching machine, and while some of them were high (prompting machine adjustment), she hit or nipped the majority of the balls she could swing at. I was very pleased (and surprised) at how well she did.
