Jason Hardaway

Purple Haze (Indy Team #S15)

To the casual observer, throwing a strike seems like a pretty easy task. Take a deep breath, aim for the plate with a bit of arch on the pitch and let it fly...there's a big white plate not too far from the pitcher that stays in the same place the entire game.
Much easier said than done, a fact Jason Hardaway of team Purple Haze found out in the 1st inning in their battle vs. Reside Bench Warmers. He wanted to throw strikes...heck he was talking to himself for most of the inning while issuing a few too many walks and putting his team down early by seven runs. Thankfully his team didn't give up on him, encouraging him to work through his 1st inning funk. He shook off the pitching deamons and kept the game close for the rest of the game, allowing his team to make an amazing late game coming from behind victory.
Way to stick with it Jason...your perserverance on the mound was admired by all.
