College baseball and softball

Three shots from this afternoon. Western Michigan University was entertaining Bowling Green in a Mid-American Conference game, and on the girls diamond located next to and up a level from the baseball stadium, the WMU Women's Softball team was also playing a conference game vs. Ohio U. I took these around 1:15 so the sun was really giving me fits as far as blown highlights. I had to stop up on a couple. As for the girls, their diamond is enclosed by a thick chain-link fence, and it was impossible to get any shots from the stands. I did manage to get one though, as I shot thru the gap between the gate to the diamond and the gatepost. BTW, it was my first girls softball shot ever.

Great timing on the top shot John!

That reminds me that I need to send yesterdays pics off to the papers.....another late night

Thanks John. I'm nearly in mid-season form with those----the rest, I still need to work on

Nice going John. Looks like that timing is back and ready for more action. Nice job on that first one and I love the batter reaction shot.

Appreciate it, Larry. I'm going to try to get more reaction shots this year. They're something I've overlooked in the past, and need to concentrate on those for a while.
