Will’s team beat a bunch of big boys from Kennesaw this past Saturday, 9 – 1. After his complete-game shutout on Thursday, Will was ready to pitch again. Coach Chris held him in reserve, in case the game was close, but Will’s pitching was not needed.
Will scored the only run in the first inning, after drawing a walk. He stole second and third on consecutive pitches. Christian grounded one back up the middle, and the pitcher knocked it down. Will broke for home and scored.
At the end of two innings the Dodgers led 2 – 0. Neither team had gotten a hit, so with the game close Chris left in the starting pitcher for another inning.
Will led off bottom of the third and again walked, this time on four pitches. Again he stole second and third, and later scored. He was the only Dodger to score twice. The Dodgers went on to score six more runs in the third. With the big lead, Chris opted to let another boy pitch the fourth inning.
Will played shortstop the first three innings, and handled every ball hit to him. He threw out two runners at first on ground balls, and caught a fly ball on the outfield grass.
The last game of the season is Saturday, at noon against Henry’s YellowJackets.
