"Tattooed," Proper Usage

            Clare called after practice Tuesday to say, “I really tattooed the ball,” with three balls over the fence during soft toss.  “They were all the rising line-drive ones I like; two of them were bombs.  The other one would’ve gone further, but it hit a tree and knocked a branch off.” 

The night before, she went to see her hitting coach and put on a display there as well.  A girl in high school went up to her later and said, “You’re really good.  You must play in college.”

            Yes, for one more spring.
