She throws like a girl!

If throwing like a girl means pitching as good as these young ladies at the NSA Girls Fastpitch World Series this week, then sign me up for a lesson.

I'm out at Hargett Park this morning, host to the 16 and under division at the World Series. And let me say, these girls can play.

I just watched a couple innings of the Carolina Lightning Bolts against the Susquehanna Slam, where a shutout was in progress. Not a surprise the way these girls wind up and pitch the ball 40 mph, 50 mph or more from the mound.

I played baseball for 10 years, and I'm not sure I could hit a rising fastball off these 15-year-olds.

The old saying, "She throws like a girl" takes a whole new meaning out here.
