In a split second

I decided to go to Mariah's softball game. It was an away game that started well, Mariah got on base and easily beat out the throw to first with a nice bunt.

At her next on base, Mariah was at third and she was leading off, and a HARD line drive was headed right for her chest. She was charging for home and had just enough time to extend her hand to deflect/block the ball. We all heard the thud of the hit, and Mariah was on the ground instantly.

Everyone stood around for several minutes over her while the coaches checked her out, and made sure that she was alright. She's a tough cookie, and they bandaged up her right hand heavily and continued the game and ended up making it home. The coach took her out of the game but they still won easily 18-1? I can't wait to see her play college ball.

She'll be ok! But it sure looked really scary.
