First time players

At dinner with my small group this evening, Karina shared a story from Cross Point's awesome softball team... (awesomely bad softball team....)

Her roommate is the catcher. This is her first time playing in that position. At first, said roommate stood against the backstop.. the ump made her move forward, somewhat closer to home plate.

The pitcher threw the first ball and the roommate caught it. The young woman then looked at the umpire and said "Am I supposed to throw this back?"

No word if the umpire died of hysterical laughter or was able to keep himself composed and show her some grace in explaining the rules of softball to her.
