This weekend I had the opportunity to document history for the University of Michigan as its softball coach Carol Hutchins captured her 1,458th career win to become the all-time winningest coach in NCAA softball history. No. 2 Michigan dominated Indiana on an extremely windy day in Bloomington to win 8-0 in five innings.

Got a chance to play around in some sweet light on Tuesday night as two area teams matched up in a softball regional. Unfortunately, the main team I was covering, Riley, lost meaning we couldn’t use my favorite frame of their team celebrating (fourth frame down). Just my luck the best reaction shot I got doesn’t line up well with the outcome of the game. Such is life.

I haven’t shot softball in almost ages. Last time I photographed it was as an intern at the Austin American-Statesman two years ago.

I worked a later shift today and covered two games in the UIL softball state semifinals. The first was a bit challenging because the harshness of the sunlight at the field. Shooting in harsh, mid-day sunlight is hard because you have to tip toe around your shots, waiting for subjects to pass through shade or to face the sun directly. Today was also challenging because it was extremely hot. A thermometer on the outfield scoreboard hit 95 degrees at one time.
