PREPS: At the Plate

I got to shoot the first round of the Region 8-AA softball tourney this week. It's always fun to get a chance to shoot some softball. Usually I feel lucky if I get even one play at home plate during a baseball or softball game. During this game I got an unheard of four. None of them are amazing, but any play at the plate is usually a relatively exciting picture. Obviously with all that action at the plate this was a high scoring game as the North Oconee Lady Titans handled the East Jackson Eagles with a 10-2 victory.
