Ok. Ok. Hussle in, hussle in.

Playing like a bunch of girls.

Ok ladies, last inning.

[clapping]

Coach: Baserunners, we need some baserunners.

Teammate: Let's go Shannon. Be a hitter up there.

Teammate: Aww. Not your pitch. Not your pitch, Shannon.

Coach: Be aggressive.

[Teammates cheering on]

Two down ladies. We got this. Let's go. We got this right now!

[cheering]

Coach: That's got a chance. That's got a chance!

Coach: Yeah!!

[Loud cheering]

Casey.

You ok?

Casey. Casey, you ok?

No. [moaning]

My knee-

Teammate: Come on, come on.

Come on, I'll help you around the bases. -Ok.

Umpire: You can't do that.

Why?

No offense player can be assisted by another offensive player or a coach.

She hits the ball out of the ballpark, she still has to touch the bases.

Ok, my substitute runner will start at first, touch all the bags and score.

Coach, if you want a substitute runner the last base she touched was first, the sub goes to first. No runs score.

No, no, no. Come on, she hit a homerun-

Umpire: That's the rule- Coach: She's allowed all the bags-

Bring 'em back to second, third, no runs score.

No, no, no!

That's the rule, Coach.

She hit a homerun!

She's got to touch the bases.

No, no, no-

Put the runners back at second and third-

Coach: Substitute runner, touches all the bags-

Oh, thank you.

That was a nice hit.

Thanks.

What-

Yeah, I think that's ok. I've never heard of this before butÖ

Umpire: She's touching the bases, she covering the bags.

You think this looks weird?

I've never done this before.

[All laugh]

That's fine, right?

I don't know. Here.

I donít want your- it works for me. I don't know.

I'll tell you one thing, I've been doing this a long time and I've never seen anything like this before.
