GIRLS FASTPITCH TEAMS START SEASON

The pitching machine was hooked up and the lines were chalked on Diamond #1 in Leamington as the girls fastpitch softball division for 8 to 11 year-olds got their season moving in the right direction.

For many first-time players, the focus wasn’t on the score but on learning the fundamentals of the game. They have been practing for weeks in anticipation of playing some games.

This game between Atlas Tube and Sun Life produced plenty of runs on both sides. As the season progresses, players will face live pitching.

Karina Boutros, second baseman for Atlas Tube, is ready for the play as both the ball and runner advance.
