Today’s practice started with a little “Backwards Softball.”

The rules? Do everything you normally do in a game of softball, but backwards and with your opposite hand.
We aren’t really sure where this pitch to @CatherineCrenek landed, but the swing was https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💯" title="Hundert Punkte Symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Hundert Punkte Symbol">
Even as a left-handed hitter, @OltmannTara still rakes at the plate. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💁‍♀️" title="Frau verrät sich" aria-label="Emoji: Frau verrät sich">
. @_maralag_ as a pitcher?

No change. She’s still getting people out. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😎" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit Sonnenbrille" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit Sonnenbrille">
And @mollydamiani22 from the right side? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧐" title="Gesicht mit Monokel" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Monokel">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧐" title="Gesicht mit Monokel" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Monokel">
Who are we starting at third this weekend?

@torimccann123 submits her highlight tape for consideration.
Wondering about @KylieG__ ?

Yeah, she still knows how to get on base no matter which side of the plate.
That’s ... uhhh ...

*checks lineup card*

Right-handed @RogersCaitlyn with the glove flip to the 8-4 putout at second.
Yup, @arieann77 still sluggin’ from the right side, so that’s still normal. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😄" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und lächelnden Augen">
. @piperkrandolph is still boosting that OBP with another base knock.
That swing from the left side looks oddly comfortable there, @LemonsBaylee https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤨" title="Gesicht mit hochgezogener Augenbraue" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit hochgezogener Augenbraue">
And that’s a run-scoring hit from @meagan_king8 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👸" title="Prinzessin" aria-label="Emoji: Prinzessin">
Another defensive https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💎" title="Edelstein" aria-label="Emoji: Edelstein"> robs @cruzmarisa03 of a base hit as second baseman @meagan_king8 with the backhand stop and toss to @hailey8_ at ...

Wait. Who put Hailey at first? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">
No matter which side she hits from, @ssaravanderford still finds a way to score @piperkrandolph from third. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤝" title="Handschlag" aria-label="Emoji: Handschlag">
And @rainalange jumps into the hit column with a blooper to centerfield https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😎" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit Sonnenbrille" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit Sonnenbrille">
A pitcher knows good defense when she recognizes it.

@cruzmarisa03 with the fist-pump as @hailey8_ grounds into the five-infielder shift.
We aren’t really sure if @ssaravanderford had the advantage here because third base is technically first in this game, but we’ll https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👏" title="Applaus-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Applaus-Zeichen"> for the defensive effort.
Swing away, kiddo
Swing away, @jkmullins4
Man, those slappers, no matter the side of the plate, still slap — get it? lol — as @hannahhearls demonstrates
