I love the ball and bat combo in this photo. Every game I go into the game with trying to shoot something different hoping to get some pretty rad images.
I like this photo due to Tyler Oppenheim (#5) is concentrated on what is going on instead of being in the circle with everyone else. She plays every game trying to work on fielding and to get better every time she is on the field.
The Composition in this photo is why I chose this photo. With the umpire, and the batter. You can see that Brittany Woolridge the pitcher is focused on trying to strike the batter down.
Baylea Higgs who is an amazing player to photograph due to the emotion she has while she plays. You will see that later on. This play was going to be a close call but she tried to reach home safely. The collision was interesting but unfortunately she got called out.
Leaders lead.
The three players above Higgs, Oppenheim and Cierra Nunez Head out to their positions before the game ready to play.
Post Dinger. It seems like there was a home run every game. Every time regardless of how many times they hit one, the players all went to home plate to congratulate the player who hit the home run.
Katie Dean gets ready for the pitch. She is extremely focused when playing and it makes for beautiful moments.
Again with the composition. Oppenheim looks for the ball as she decides to either go to second or stay at first.
Cherie Jackson- she was the vocal leader of the team. Pregame she always had a short speech to give and had passion when she gave the speech.
With sports you get the joy of victory and the tear of defeat.
Here Mariah Jameyson walks back to her position after having a meeting with the pitcher after the visiting team scores.
Jameyson who lead the conference in home runs hit one here. With as many home runs that were hit I was constantly trying to find new ways to shoot the celebration. This one by far was my favorite as she runs the 3rd base line to go to home as her team celebrates.
Coach May gives the players a pep talk after getting down early.
Said earlier you have the triumphs of victory and the agony of defeat. Here the Lions lost the first game to TWU, in the situation the players thought they were out, that was going to be their season but with some help from other teams in the conference they lived to see another day.
After Oppenheim makes a beautiful catch to save the Lions season and send them to the LSC conference tournament. The team dog piles her.
Higgs makes a phenomenal catch against Texas Women's University.
