Will's March 7th Game

Will’s Mt. Paran Cougars won their late game last night 14 – 8, way out in Kennesaw.

Once again Will batted second. With one out in the top of the first Will lined a one ball, one strike pitch low, and the shortstop made a nice catch an inch off the ground. That shortstop later made three errors in the fourth inning.

Will was the starting pitcher, pitched two innings, and again threw more strikes than balls. He struck out two, and only allowed one earned run. After pitching the first two innings, Will had sat out the third inning.

Going into the top of the fourth the score was tied 8 – 8. The game had started thirty minutes late due to delays in the previous game, and before this game both teams were advised that the game would end immediately at ten after ten. The inning started about ten til ten.

With a runner on third, Will hit a hard grounder that the shortstop wasn’t able to handle, driving in the runner at third. Will stole second base, took third on Robbie’s grounder to short, and scored when the ball rolled under the shortstop’s glove.

The first six Cougar batters in the inning scored. After a pitching change, two outs, and a walk, the game was called.
