Delaney made her pitching debut the other evening and did a great job. At this age, the coach pitches the first two innings, and then the girls get the opportunity to basically practice pitching. If they don't get any stikes on the opponent, then the coach comes in and pitches. If you can throw even 3 strikes during an inning, it's considered a success. I didn't keep count, but she did manage to throw some strikes and even better when the ball was hit, she managed to field two balls and make the throw to first for, two outs. I have a feeling she will be taking her pitching practice a little more serious now that she knows what it feels like to actually pitch in a game.
