Sorry I haven’t been blogging lately. The end of the semester is near and Minor League Baseball has started, so I’m busy. The baseball team is on the road until the 28th, so I won’t have a lot of extra work to do again until then.I had two sports assignments today. The first one was a softball game between Bandys and Maiden, two local rivalries. I have always been amazed at how these girls can sling this ball with any accuracy at all. I didn’t notice this little tidbit until I looked at the photos a little closer, but this pitcher (Carlee Carpenter of the Bandys Lady Trojans) is throwing a knuckleball! If you click on the photo to view the larger size, you can see it clearly.
The Bandys girls went on to win today’s game 3-2 in 9 innings.
