Pegged

Darby started off her game today with what looked to be a nice hit, but she was tagged out at first. HOWEVER, she was then given first as the ump said the catcher interfered. On her second at-bat, she was PEGGED square in the back with the ball by the pitcher, so she was given first base. She's a tough girl (sometimes) and so walked off the hit pretty well. She scored both times she was on base.

She also (finally) had a decent day in the field. They had her in left field most of the game, and she did an awesome job backing up third so that she was there to get the ball when the third baseman missed it. However, she didn't get the ball in to home on time, so the runner was safe. But I'm pleased she's finally executing the backing up without being told. A few more times of that and she'll start pulling off some nice plays.
