Yes with a digital camea

I have tried so many times to get that great action shot!! I started to believe that it was impossible with a digital camera. You know the ball coming off the bat, or the pop fly right before you catch it. I always got the catcher standing up watching as they were already rounding first, Or the team running in AFTER the ball was caught. NOT THIS TIME! I was ready. Let me set it up for you. Two outs, down by only 2 after coming back from 2-13. Bases loaded, Jimi on third and her best friend Shelby catching. Shelby is a great catcher! A little wild pitch goes by Shelby, Jimi had a huge lead off and was almost half way down already and kicked it into high gear. She sees Shelby scrambling for the ball, and Melissa (their pitcher) cover home, she sees the toss towards the plate and she slides...


SHE'S SAFE!!!
Great Job Jimi! She is known by both her team and all the others as a BIG hitter, the outfield moves back and they are all ready! They are even worried about her stealing because she is fast, she's the only one the coach will send home on a steal. I remind her to not let it go to her head because there we several games last year when she got psyched out and couldn't hit a thing. For now she has the confidence and is doing great!
