She has wanted to try pitching all year, and last night in practice her coach helped with her technique and said she did well enough to pitch in the game. After mostly playing outfield all year, she was thrilled.
They only got in 3 innings before time was called and the next game had to start. She first pitched the 2nd inning very well with numerous strikes, facing only 4 batters including a strikeout and a line drive she caught. Coach gave her one more inning where she struggled for awhile to throw strikes and 4 runs scored, but overall she did awesome for her first outing with limited experience - and they pulled ahead at the bottom of the third to win 8-7!
