Dodgers Game Five

Will’s Dodgers beat the other Mt. Paran team for the fourth straight time Saturday, this time by a 9 – 4 score.

Having won all their previous meetings (and with another game Monday night), Coach Chris rested Will in the Saturday game, giving others some work on the mound. Will played shortstop for all but one inning, and handled every chance in the field. He threw two runners out at first, and had a putout at second base. He caught one inning.

Batting second as usual, Will grounded out to first a checked swing and popped out to second. In the third he hit a hard grounder that the shortstop couldn’t handle, and later stole second base. With two-out and a weak hitter coming up, Will was waved home from second on a short single to left, but the perfect throw beat Will home by several steps.
