Tournament – Championship

It’s over!!! We won the championship game Thursday night. It was not as intense as had been expected because we controlled most of the game. The final score was 8-2. I closed the last inning of the game pitching. In my at-bats, I went into two strike counts every time, [...]

Tournament – Episode 3

Read this even though it is long.  Wow.  Are you kidding me?  Last night we played the #1 seeded Dirt Dawgs (we are #2).  Coming into the game, they were undefeated, and we had one loss, which was to that team.  I did not pitch well last game, so we started another pitcher who always [...]

Tournament – Episode 2

Another exciting game.  As I said in my previous post, we played against the #3 seeded Senators.  The game was more incredible than the first time we played them when I got hit in the head to win the game.  In the first inning, I gave up four runs which was by far my worst [...]

Tournament – Episode 1

Last night we played the #8 seeded Diamondbacks (we’re the#2 seed) and we beat them pretty easily. The final score was 14-4 after 5 innings (instead of seven-10-run slaughter rule). We hit ok, but not to our full potential. I got an inning in pitching in which I had 2 strikeouts and [...]

Episode 12

On Saturday, we played our last game of the regular season against the Red Sox.  We ended up winning 15-8.  We played pretty terrible at the beginning of the game, and the score was 4-3 we were winning after three innings.  We had the bases loaded in each of those three innings, but only got [...]

Episode 11

Finally, another game. I feel like I haven’t played in forever, which was exactly 10 days with no baseball (except for the MLB playoffs). So, how will our team do after a 10-day break? Pretty good would be the answer. We didn’t have any errors in the game and we hit [...]

Episode 10

Ugly. Last night we played the Dirt Dawgs(stupid name for a baseball team) who were 9-0. Technically, we were 8-0 because our one loss was to a team that is no longer in our league. It was a close game all the way through until the last inning where they started to [...]

Episode 8

Here’s a surprise.   We won the game on Saturday, though missing many of our better players.  The final score was 10-4.  I landed awkwardly on a pitch in warm-ups before the 6th inning, and I’m still feeling a little sore in my knees. But we won without my in the game for one inning. [...]

Episode 7

More baseball.  I know it’s been a lot but I can’t just skip an episode.   Last night we played the Rangers.   We kinda knew what to expect of this team because we had beaten a team 7 that had beaten this team.  So we expected to run away with the game in the first couple [...]

Episode 6

Sorry I’ve been off the past few days, but now I’m back on track.  Saturday I had a game against a travel team called the Senators.  They are a Dale City team, which means most players on their team are very unsportsmanlike toward other teams.  I pitched against this team last year and the end [...]
