For the OP, I am hunting tips on shooting under over cast days, so your info helped quite a but...thanks!
No problems. For what it's worth I trend to shoot on manual when the light is pretty constant. I always keep an eye on the exposure meter to check to make sure that there hasn't been a change that may cause an under or over exposure.
Basically all you can do when the light is low is to up the ISO and open up the apperture. By changing the type of shot to concentrate on the end of the swing (i.e. shot 2) or the batter leaving the box you can get away with a lower shutter speed. Trying the capture the ball needs high shutter speed and a lot of light. Try and make sure not to under expose as at high ISO the image will get very noisy when you try and correct it.
I'm sure there are other tips so any else feel free to contribute....

I agree but sometimes you are out of position when the shot comes up. I was also playing in the game so I had to stay close the our bench and sometimes the opposition is not too happy to have an opposing player shooting from their bench.
