Darby is the backup catcher on her team. And the catcher, a new girl for this year, is a pitcher as well. Coach wanted to test the new girl's pitching skills in a game, which meant Darby was at catcher instead of shortstop. She did pretty well "catching up" with the position considering it has been probably a year since she has caught in a game.
This video isn't particularly exciting. Just thought I'd post one of her catching.
Much like last night, the team started out with a number of defensive mistakes, which lead to an early lead by the other team. Also, they are a Division I team (we are Division II), so before long, it was an 11-1 ballgame in their favor. By the middle of the game we were calmed down, tightened things up (mostly) defensively, and started to mount a comeback. We managed to score six more runs without allowing them to score further, for an 11-7 final. We basically just ran out of time to catch up to our earlier errors.
