The last couple of years I have played in a Toys 4 Tots softball tournament out in Palm Springs. I played in this tournament yesterday with a new team called ReCal. It's a team combined with players from Reno NV and Murrieta CA. It was still fun to play with these guys even though we stunk and didn't play well at all. Every tournament is sponsored or organized by different organizations and every tournament has different rules. Such as, leading off the bag after the pitch or not, how high or low the pitch has to be and what is considered a strike. All lot of the guys playing yesterday were not familiar with the pitching style and it effected our offense big time. The pitches were coming in a lot faster with no arch with the minimum height of 4 ft. It also threw off our pitcher who wasn't used to this type of pitching style and ended up walking a lot of guys. We only ended up playing two games and were finished losing both games in an embarrassing way based on the final score. One of the worst outings for a tournament that I have played in. I decided that I would no longer play in these types of tournaments.
