Manchester softball faced Chelsea.
One particular Manchester player — the one at second base — made a lot of outs. She had a couple spectacular plays that were impossible to miss, but when I went through the photos, I realized I had a lot of shots of her making plays:
Even though they look goofy, I wish we’d played with those masks.
I was racing our shortstop to a grounder up the middle (I was playing 2nd), and he beat me to it…thankfully. It took a bad hop and he lost four teeth.
Sometimes I’m a little surprised more players don’t wear the masks. But the only player I actually worry about is the pitcher, since it’s a lot harder for her to be ready for a line drive in her direction.
