Tonight was a long game. We actually almost ran out of daylight. Funny how innings tend to last longer when you score some runs. Unfortunately, the other team scored a lot of runs too.. Offensively, this was our best game yet. Patience at the plate and aggressive running on the base paths are starting to pay off. We started out a little slow in the first inning, but Jumped out to a 5-1 lead in the second. Of course, in the bottom of the first we surrendered that lead by giving up 7 runs (at least 4 of them unearned). We kept it pretty close through the next couple of innings and even thought we briefly got the lead back in the 5 - which we then immediately surrendered on several unearned runs again. All in all, it was a fun game, and a significant improvement over our first three games. We're starting to put it all together - One of these days we are going to win one. Final score 22-19.
Highlights:
- Jason was 4-5, hit for the cycle (including our first ever Home Run), scored three runs and had 8 RBI
- Damian was 3 for 4 with a walk, 4 runs scored and an RBI
- Just about everybody was hitting better. 8 of our ten guys batted over .500.
