Kid pitch

The Scrappers’ 23-run winning game Wednesday might be the last high scoring one now that kids are replacing the coaches at pitching. Mr. Boy did well in practice pitching, so may get a chance at it in tomorrow afternoon’s game. He even survived getting hit in the back yesterday by another kid pitcher while batting in practice, though he cried a little. The kid pitchers are a little wild and they’re throwing as hard as they can to get the ball over the plate. Which is why I think the high-scoring games are over. Now the challenge is for the hitters to stay in the box and swing. Several yesterday were antsy, stepping backward every time a kid pitcher delivered. Going to be interesting.
