yeah, kirklands ball was hit hard at delmonico, but the key word was "at", just b/c you hit it hard doesnt mean it is a hit, so what if you hit it hard, if he was in front of it and moved to the side to try to scoop it instead of staying in front of the ball, he makes that play 9 times out of 10, i can see where you might want a hit b/c you hit it hard, but if it is right at someone and they miss it like that, im pretty sure its an error if you check the rulebook, and also, he didnt hit is "past" delmonico, he hit it "at" him, i think his dad actually knows how to score things better than most people, we arent in t-ball or coach pitch anymore, you dont get a cookie for hitting the ball hard anymore, if its hit at someone even if it is hard and they dont make the play, its an error...period
