Mike fantastic shots. Awesome grab on #2 and #6. #7 is the money shot for me....love it.
Is that a girl pitching in #15 or competing with the boys....how did that all play out.
Frank Lauri
Thanks Frank
The girl struck out the side in the first inning, she threw all strikes and the boys were takign a lot of pitches, in the second they strated swinging and teed off on her for 6 runs, but she held her head high and got through the inning and pitched 4 more innings then went to thrid base.
GOD, these shots bring back memories of my youth playing Little League. GREAT SHOTS. The girl shot reminds me of my sister. She and I are 1.5 years apart and she outplayed many of the boys we grew up with.

Thnaks so much I love shooting the youth sports. I have no problem with girls in boys spors but I do find it a bit awkward in wrestling
All great shots Mike, but gotta agree about #7-- it grabbed me right away. It has a very special quality about it, almost timeless. Like it sums up a kid's entire youth experience in baseball.
For the record though... #7 just SCREAMS Mikey McAtee to me. Those McAteerian skies opened up for that shot. Some harsh light and you dealt with it like the champ you are. AAA Mike!

Sweet set, Mike. I'm with Frank on #7, though 6 has a great battlefield look to it.
Thanks Russ the kid in 6 took a header in the first inning running to first and came up coated in chalk....lol

Thanks DJ you are right except for Fridays night game the light was harsh as can be, but one has to make do with what is dealt them . I too am very fond of #7 thanks for the kind words
Awesome set Mike. Gave me some inspiration for this past weekends tournament. Made a few like yours but also some nice variations as I am sure you may have already seen!! Always helps when you have all access on the fields.
