Varsity Double

[mstaylor]

I did a double last night and I assure the VM will go home saying he got homered. I was on the plate the first game, home pitcher was very good, nice fastball, decent curve and a passable knuckleball. The visiting pitcher, not so much, he was missing all over and the catcher was snatching pitches. HT wins 7-1. Moved to the bases on the second half. Catcher picked two off second from his knees, caught one stealing. Bunt with runners on first and second. Really nice bunt but the catcher throws  rocket to third, too hot for the F5. He mishandles it and has to dive to the bag, tags it with his glove, bang bang. I banged the runner, looked at the VM, pointed at the bag and said he got the glove in. I also had a double play, I banged both ends. That one I screwed up. F3 was off and I missed it. I got myself straightlined, coach said,"Seriously?" I said yes and he never questioned it further, I thought I got it so I didn't ask my PU. After the game my partner said he was absolutely off.  The rest I had no question on. The visiting catcher got hit three times in the two games. When  he got hit the second time in the second game the VM asked my partner what the limit was on a pitcher hitting batters.   PU says there is none. He then asked if it was an inning or game thing. The PU repeats that there is no rule. VM says when he pitched he got pulled whenever he hit two. PU told him that was the manager's choice.
