She informed me that they were shooting an upcoming episode where a fastpitch softball game was being played. She found me via a internet search for men&#8217;s fast pitch softball in Southern California. She proceeded to research more and decided to give me the opportunity. I play # 9 Hemminger a pitcher for The Las Vegas Vice softball team. I brought Todd Budke as my catcher who is playing Varansky # 17. Kenny &#8220;The Jet&#8221; Harley plays the lightning fast right fielder Samford # 30. We did the shot March 14 and we were out there about 12 hours. The food was fantastic and the cast and crew were phenomenal. It was a great experience seeing how a successful television show is constructed and all that goes into it. I&#8217;m not sure how much actual camera time each of us will get so you have to tune in to find out. I am figuring since myself and Todd Budke were the pitcher and the catcher we should get on camera at some point. I get to pitch to Elizabeth Shue and she hits a triple off me. Todd has a great scene at the plate where Elizabeth Shue slides safe into home with the winning run for The CSI Softball team as he tags her late. I get credited with the loss. I must have thrown over 500 pitches and since you keep shooting over and over I lost the equivalent of about 100 games. I look forward to the finished product tomorrow night.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16221\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16221\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/CSI.1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/CSI.1-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"CSI.1\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16221\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/CSI.1-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/CSI.1.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16221\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/ES.1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/ES.1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Altered Stakes\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16229\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/ES.running.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/ES.running.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Altered Stakes\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16230\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/ES.sliding.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/ES.sliding.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Altered Stakes\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16231\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you miss CSI Hanker last night?
