50. I couldn't quite get to the ball

Fri Aug 7, 2020, 03:10 PM

Aug 2020

It landed foul in a game my team easily won.

The previous batter had a line drive base hit down the right field line. I hustled after it and fielded the ball in foul territory, then made a strong throw to the cutoff man to hold the batter to a single.

I was still a bit winded on the fatefull foul ball. Not sure if that contributed to the injury as much as the downward slope of the field which changed the angle of my foot plant.
