Maddie had an incident Saturday morning....covering home plate as the pitcher on an incoming runner from 3rd...the girl slid and went full boar into Maddie, usually a wise thing to do since you couldnt get to the plat any other way, however, her knee or cleat, not sure actually, cracked Maddie's shin bone! She is off of ball for 3-4 weeks. The bright side is it was not her knee as originally thought. ER said it was her maniscus which would be a harsh bodypart to ever recover fully, constant rehab or surgery. A blessing in disguise that it is her bone. Her select coach said he teaches them how to cover home without injury...I guess we havent been with the team long enough to learn that part...this happened on her city rec league team. So, kallie, do some research on this subject since it is one of the most common causes of injury to pitchers! We loved going to the world series in OK city -- So cool to see those college girls play! The pitchers are amazing, I am sure you know the winning team from Wa. had a Canadien pitcher!! Hopefully she will be back in the game for Father's Day weekend, big tournament!
