Although some rain was expected, I was hoping to have complete coverage of the tournament. Alas, it was not to be so, and early on the 2nd day of the tournament the weather gods turned against us and the skies broke open; leaving us all (players, directors, fans, photographers) wanting more and wishing for a better ending. Nevertheless, Saturday&#8217;s games provided some great action that I now share with you.

This one looks like Clark Kent just before the cape appears.   I don&#8217;t know what impresses me more about this pic &#8211; the sheer athleticism, or the fact that Maddy caught the peak moment of action from such a great distance.  Either way, I thought you would appreciate it as well.<br \/>\n.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11621\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11621\" style=\"width: 425px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/David-Carrillo-BOTW.1-20111.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/David-Carrillo-BOTW.1-20111.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"David Carrillo BOTW.1 2011\" width=\"425\" height=\"640\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/David-Carrillo-BOTW.1-20111.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/David-Carrillo-BOTW.1-20111-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11621\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You don't tug on Superman's cape: David Carrillo of Liberty Fastpitch goes sky high to make a catch Saturday at Santa Barbara<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n.<\/p>\n<blockquote><figure id=\"attachment_11537\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11537\" style=\"width: 425px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/BOTW_2011_0277.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/BOTW_2011_0277.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"BOTW_2011_0277\" width=\"425\" height=\"640\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/BOTW_2011_0277.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/BOTW_2011_0277-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11537\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tournament Most Valuable Pitcher Sonny Perkins of the Pala Braves Saturday at the Best of the West tournament.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Lucas Mata<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><figure id=\"attachment_11541\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11541\" style=\"width: 425px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/BOTW_2011_0251.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/BOTW_2011_0251.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"BOTW_2011_0251\" width=\"425\" height=\"640\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/BOTW_2011_0251.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/BOTW_2011_0251-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11541\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Argentine ace Lucas Mata is a picture of focus, pitching for the California As Saturday.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maddy&#8217;s photos from the 2011 Best of the West tournament in Santa Barbara are available for viewing.
