An old body goes hard down

The heat was already taking its toll before the game between the All-Stars in the Dixie Regiional playoff game between Floyd and Radford.

Managed to photograph two of the Dixie Softball playoff games in Radford Saturday.

Extreme pain in one leg broken in 2012 and the other last fall scrapped hopes to get a third game later in the day.

I went hard down late Saturday afternoon and through the night.  Too many injuries in a body with too many years on the odometer took their toll.

My apologies.
