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.

    Good luck on the tourney and hoping you're in a location that is somewhat warm!

9/30 Doubleheader

 Alas, we had another doubleheader. We actually have four more games in the fall season, and two Saturdays to play. We have two doubleheaders. Anyway, we were playing the same team for both of the games today. They are called the Legacy. In the first game, I started in leftfield. Nothing happened in the first inning, but in the second inning, after our starter was pulled, I made a diving catch in the outfield, which felt really good because I had been in a batting slump lately, and it was nice to help the team. At the plate, I went 0-1 with an RBI reach on error. We lost that game, but I really don't remember the score. In the second game, I started in left again, and nothing really happened. I came in to catch an inning, then I pitched. I came in with a 6-4 lead. The first batter grounded out to second. The next batter reached on an error. After that, I gave up an infield single. The batters reached second and third on a wild pitch, and then the umpire called a balk on me. He said

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 runner's helmet an
