    lol, nope, I didn't sneak off to the North woods although an almost identicle shot of this was in the paper the next day (Tuesday) here, and that one was mine. Kind of funny as the the way the sun reflected off the batters, catchers and umps helmets it looked like three Smileys looking back at me at different angles, and the pitcher had a mean look in the one that was in the paper. I saw her tonight at the games I was shooting and she loved the shot. This kid is a junior, stands 6' 2" and lifts weights and pitches every day, year round, even when she is sick. I think she has lost just 10 games since she pitched her first high school game as a freshman. She used to have trouble hitting though, you were safer in the dugout when she hit, now she has gotten the hang of it and she's hit line drives off the fence. Glad she figured it out, last year it was hazardous when she was at bat. She once hit 6 straight pitches line drive fouls over the street (one off a car) off thrird base side of the field, then put one in the dugout on each side of the field....dangerous!
