Belleville — another community covered by a Heritage newspaper — also participated in the softball tournament.  Most conveniently for me, they ended up playing Chelsea at the end of the tournament.

Just before every pitch, this particular baserunner reached out her hands — almost like she was a football receiver reaching for a pass — and waved them.  Does that mean something, or is it just her own routine?
