Tuesday Will went 4-5, reaching on an error. Had a double down the left-field line that drove in a run. Also walked and scored two runs. They beat the East Cobb Saints 9-3, and could’ve scored at least one more run. Will caught, getting dinged several times by errand pitches. Several teammates switched positions for the game. Will has already played 3B, SS, P, C, and RF. At this stage of baseball, rightfield is a more important position than leftfield.
Wednesday night I was in the other room during American Idol. Saw internet reports about Heyward winning the game, so I bolted for the TV. After Idol they turned off the TV. It takes a while for the TV to come on, so I missed the Peachtree TV “postgame”.
Thursday night I took the northern route home, across Old Milton to downtown Alpharetta. At home I changed clothes, than drove to Woodstock to pick up Will…all the Living Science kids were saying their goodbyes for the summer. Took him to practice at Kell, then took carpool kid Michael home, then returned to Kell by the time practice ended, then drove home. I was basically in the car from 5:30 to 9 pm.
Thought about watching the 11 pm SportsSouth replay, but didn’t. Is that not three straight walk off hits in a row? What is the record? Saw the slam replay, and Conrad stopping after rounding first. His dad had to be a baseball fan, naming him Brooks. Will played Little League with a Brooks, who is still playing in north Georgia . Dad loves baseball.
Will’s Friday game was rained out…nothing tonight. Hopefully they’ll get the games in Saturday…looks like they’ll play at least one on Sunday. They had only have nine players, including one boy who hasn’t hit yet, due to a wrist injury. Several were to miss due to high school graduations and the end of school.
