Softball double header today vs LaSalle. After setting up all the equipment necessary to document on the game, I run down to the dugouts to gather the starting lineups as well as get the umpire names to report. After all the information is loaded, we wait for the game to start. In the meantime, I am able to talk with the AD, Angie Russel, who oversees the game to pick her brain on her role. This was very informative and says most of the work occurs months before the season. Once the season starts, a lot of the duties are oversight and to make sure the correct officials are in place. The actual game was quite exciting as UD won both games. During the game, I was able to assist in the marketing efforts by throwing out t-shirts to fans that answered UD trivia questions correctly and also when UD struck out a St. Louis batter.
