| Feb. 20, 2022 hitnrun5 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What's the call Batter hits a slow dribbler down third base line. Ball is in foul territory and still slowly rolling, inches from the foul line. The on deck batter throws his bat hitting the ball before it's stops moving, preventing the ball from possibly going back into fair territory. Umpire calls foul ball, believing ball had no chance of going fair. What's the call? |
| Aug. 26, 2021 hitnrun5 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Five year battle finally won My wife and I have been in a 5+ year battle to get custody of two of our grandkids. We have been to trial three times only to have AZ Dept of Child Safety deny us. We went to trial again this week, and were finally granted full legal guardianship of my 17 year old grandson and 7 year old granddaughter. Their safety and well being have been our utmost concern the last five years as we fostered them in our home. We now know that that care will continue with no chance of going back to the abusive home they came from. The reason for this post is to thank the dozens of teammates, wives, players and anyone else, who over the last five years sent prayers, support and encouraging messages to us. At every tournament players from all over the country reached out to ask if we had resolution, now, we can finally say yes! So again, my wife Susie and I thank you all, Kenny AZ Rogue 60 Joe Brown All Stars 60 Nighthawks 60 Timberworks 65 AZ Scorpions 65 |
| July 22, 2021 hitnrun5 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What's the call? This came up in our umpire meeting. Batter hits ball down third base line. First bounce is in fair territory. Third baseman is between third and home. Before the ball touches the ground in foul territory, he reaches across the foul line and fields the ball in foul territory. What's the call, fair or foul? |
| July 17, 2021 hitnrun5 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 2021 Western States Championships I have to agree with Mike. After a rainout on Thursday, we were able to play four, five inning games before turning the fields over for league ball. The maintenance crew did a fantastic job on the infields removing water, making them playable and pumping water off the one outfield corner. I don't know what ball we hit because I hit whatever is pitched, but it seemed to be fine and no one was complaining. Thanks to Rick for mixing things up, allowing us to play different teams.

| Nov. 15, 2018 hitnrun5 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Softball family member needs our help I'm reaching out to the softball community to help a former teammate of mine in need. Rod Grubb's wife Mary contracted West Nile Virus over the summer and was put on life support. Although she was able to recover from that she suffered a massive stroke and now requires 24 hour care. Rod is self employed and unable to work as he takes care of Mary. Rod has always been the first to help someone in need and now he needs our help. My wife and I have set up a go fund me account to help with the mounting medical bills, mortgage and general needs. Please pass this on to anyone that may be able to help, if not financially, then in prayer. Thanks in advance, Kenny Vaught, current member of Timberworks 65's, and formerly with Nighhawks, Joe Browns All Stars, AZ Rogue and Fangrabbers/Towtime. https://www.gofundme.com/rod-and-mary-grubb-fund&rcid=r01-154191797832-777fd9a3ae4e427f&pc=em_co_campmgmt_w . |

The NCAA and NBA are going to follow SSUSA's guidelines and will institute the following rules to try to keep an even playing field. The Golden State Warriors will now have to spot 10 points or give an extra player and Alabama's football team will only be able to play their starters in the first and third quarters! |
