My daughter plays softball with a girl who is a great pitcher. She has an array of pitches and is a fierce competitor. My daughter plays center field and is the relief pitcher.
If it were baseball, my daughter would get to pitch a lot of innings, but in softball, the same girl pitches almost every game.
That was until recently. The starting pitcher has been having a lot of asthma attacks. As the weather gets hotter, they seem to be happening more often during the games. It’s pretty scary when it happens.
Her family lives along a busy back road and there is a real need for road dust control at her house. In fact, I took her home the other day after practice and noticed that the family leaves the windows open. This could be a problem for dust abatement in the house and perhaps that increased dust entering the house is causing her asthma to worsen.
I’m not a doctor, but I’ve begun investigating this problem more and plan to talk to her father about it as he is a friend of mine. I think if they practice more dust control in the house, maybe that will help the pitcher’s asthma problems.
And, that could lead the team to more wins!
