We had small group last Friday night, and didn’t get home until way after 10 pm. Matthew’s team had pictures at 8 am Saturday morning. Will couldn’t find his cap, so that slowed us down. It was real cold Saturday morning, and the boys’ hands were hurting when they hit the ball. Matthew almost wouldn’t swing during BP, but he did hit a lot of whiffle balls.
Matthew’s Rock Hounds lost a close game 17-15, almost coming back to win in the bottom of the last inning.
1 2 3 4 5 total
Volcanoes 3 4 4 5 1 17
Hounds 2 5 4 3 1 15
Matthew played third base two innings, and left-field three innings, but no balls were hit close to him the entire game.
In the second inning Matthew singled home a runner from third. He advanced to second on a hit, and scored from second on a ground out.
In the third Matthew came up with two out and hit the ball harder, for another single. He was stranded on first.
In the bottom of the fifth the Hounds needed three runs to tie the game. After a groundout and home run, Matthew hit the ball even harder, toward the second-baseman. Matthew ran hard and was safe at first. He advanced to second on another hit, but the next two batters grounded out to end the game.
Matthew was one of three Rock Hounds to go three for three, and the coach awarded Matthew with the coveted navy star, kind of like the game ball award.
