Game On!

Warm ups are done and it’s time to take the field. We’ve got Kyle on the pitcher’s mound and Nate in shallow right-field. No worries about strike-outs since there’s not actual “pitching” involved.

Nice thing about playing the “pitcher” though…Most of the hits are going to come to you, so there’s less chance of boredom. Kyle did pretty good rushing the ball and even got a good grounder right into his glove and threw it over to first, where Nate was dutifully backing up the first basemen (who typically was not paying attention as the ball was thrown his way).

So, here we are at the top of the first inning…

Ready for that ground ball!

 

And the throw to first!

 

We’ll go over the “errors” and how those work a little later on.

 

Watching to make sure his team is backing him up on defense.

 

No! First base is that way!

 

Set for the next batter.

 

Just hit it right here!
