It was a rough night for Darby's team. ROUGH. We got down by a lot early and due to many mental errors were not able to recover. Darby played both shortstop and catcher in the game, and actually had a better time at catcher, due in part to the sun being in her eyes while she was at short (I offered to go to the car to get my sunglasses for her). Also, she seems to be much more aggressive when she plays catcher. She takes more risks with the ball and with her body. Maybe it's that extra padding? Gives her more confidence?
Darby only got one at-bat, which was a walk (I know, not technically an at-bat), but that turned into several stolen bases, including a steal of home on a passed ball. So, Darby scored one third of our runs this evening. I was able to snap a video of her slide into home, although the umpire's behind obscured the view as she crossed the plate.
