Shorty Yanagawa had a solid day out in helping her team to their first ever championship Sunday in Fremont. She was locked in with her pitcher for relay outs at first, caught a few fly balls, and reached base a few times. But Shorty's most memorable play was all for naught.As a baserunner on first, Shorty took off on a kick only to have it be caught in the infield surprisingly quickly, leaving her in no man's land between first and second without tagging up. The second baseman fired a laser at her as she tried to make it back to first, but she athletically dodged and watched it zing past her head. Unfortunately, Shorty took the overthrow as a cue to turn again and head back for her original destination at 2nd base, where she dodged another errant throw, and then made it all the way to third, sliding in just ahead of yet another throw. Through all the confusion, the fielding team forgot about her not tagging up, and only then finally threw the ball back to first for the out. Shorty's acrobatic display wasn't all for nothing, though- her teammates were fired up by her energy and determination (if not her base-running acumen), and it gave them the boost they needed for a late push to seal their victory and their Championship. Congrats, guys.
