HS Baseball double header

I was kicked out of normal spot between home base and the visitors dougout almost immediately today. The lack of a constest left very few opportunities for action and players kept stepping into my line of sight from just beyond the dougout. The first game I shot mostly individual shots.

By the second game I figure out that the outfield provided a better vantage point, and I got some fun action shots.

The first baseman missed this one and the next one two (both are the same runner in a different inning)

Time to head for second base again

And one more (no eyes, but nice action)

I think I've found my favorite sport to shoot every season, but I'll probably find them all over again next year.

Thanks for looking.

great action shots i love the last few with the slides in the bases and the action of the sand. lol I also love the 4th shot you can't get a better expression on the basemans face.
