7-11-09We only got in 3 games due to rain. We finished 1-2. The first game was a 16-10 loss to “Cause” baseball. We were up 10-6 in the 5th inning and then the throwing errors gave the game away. They had 12 unearned runs, I feel we should have won that game, it just was one of those games where the errors became contagious, next thing we know they score 12 unearned runs. I was 1 for 2 with a walk and was hit by a pitch and 2 runs scored 1 stolen base.          The second game then became a must win if we were going to be in the finals. In our bracket you have 4 teams and we all played each other 1 time and the best record moved on to the finals. I was going to pitch in the late game on Friday but was moved up to pitch the second game Friday morning. I went 8 innings with 0 earned runs 4 K’s and 4 walks and picked up the win with the final score 5-2. I had my first game with no hits in tournament play going 0 for 5. I would give up my hits for a win any day. To move on to the the final rounds it is way more important than having a 5 for 5 day. I felt really good and my change up and curve was working great. We were tied 2-2 going into the 7 inning and we scored 3 in the 8th and I struck out 2 to end the game.          Going into the 3 rd game we were in the position to win and go into the finals. It was 7-4 in the 5thinning and the throwing errors came back and again cost us the game, the final was 10-4 for the Illinois Reds. Our consulation game on Saturday was cancelled due to rain.I was 2 for 2 in the 3rd game but again I would give that up for a win, I think we will do very well in the Delaware Rally Cap Classic in August.I was 3 for 9 with 1 walk, I was hit by a pitch, 1 stolen base, 2 runs scored.Back to the batting cage!
