9/16 Game

 Yesterday we played the same team that we beat 12-1. This time they threw a better pitcher. He was pretty good and probably threw 75 MPH. I batted sixth and had an RBI walk in the only plate appearance I had. The game was called early due to rain and a foul ball into the ump's throat, as we lost 7-1.

Tomorrow Awaits...

      Tomorrow my team begins a tournament that runs from, well today I guess, through Saturday. This will be hectic because we're getting at least three games in that time, and we don't have enough pitching for that. I expect that I will pitch, and there is a chance I will be pitching against a friend of mine, which would be fun, but he's, let's just say a bit more experienced at pitching than I am. Nevertheless, it should be fun, except for the fact that I'm going to be at the fields for 10 hours tomorrow, and we may be playing at nine in the morning the next day.

A Windy Day

      Yesterday (March 1), my JV team played a team called the Wind. We were home and I started at first base and batted second. In the first inning I made two putouts at first-caught throws from shortstop and pitcher to get the batters out. But the opposing team scored 2 runs in their half of the inning. Hitting-wise, I grounded out to third base with a 2-0 count. After 1 it was 3-2 in our favor.     In the second inning, the Wind scored another run. I didn't get to field any balls at first base, but came to bat again. I walked (and pimped it again).. That gives me four walks in my last five plate appearances. After 2 the score was 5-3     In the third inning I didn't get any outs at first base, but when the pitcher made a pickoff attempt my shoulder died. Still not sure what happened to it, but I couldn't lift it with ease, and the runner was safe. We actually got him into a bit of a pickle, but when the ball was thrown back to first, it hit off the ...

February 16th Game (Start of the Season)

     Well, my real JV season started on the 16th with a game against a team called the Atlas Rattlers. We were guest. I started in the outfield, and nothing happened in the first inning. I was second in the batting order, and lined into a double play (sigh). The runner on first got the steal sign, and I hit a line drive that the third baseman lunged for and caught before throwing out my brother at first.      In the second inning, I was in rightfield again, and the only thing that happened was a single hit to me. I fielded the ball and threw it to third base. I hit again in the second inning, and popped out to the third baseman in foul territory. But, we scored 5 and were winning 6-2 after two.     In the third inning, we didn't score, and I went in to catch the new pitcher, who I'm basically the personal catcher for. Everything went well except for a few bad calls that ended up being a walk, and a missed frame that ended up being a passed ball. I...
