The University of Hartford took on Holy Cross Wednesday in West Hartford. The Hawks defeated the team from HC twice by identical 2-1 scores. Pitching was the highlight of the day on both squads.

It was nice to be back outdoors shooting at ISO 200 (meaning there was lots of light) instead of ISO 2500 (meaning there’s very little light). I used a remote camera fixed on second base and fired via pocketwizard. Of the 200 or so shots from that camera I kept exactly one. But that one shot is pretty interesting. It’s a somewhat wider shot of a play at second where the second baseman has made the tag and is showing the umpire that she still has the ball. But the umpire is in the background and has already called the runner safe.

It’s back indoors tomorrow for NCAA hockey in Bridgeport and then on to Trenton for the NCAA Women’s Basketball Regional’s on Sunday and Tuesday.
