Will’s team won again last night 16-6.
They got a big lead, so Will only pitched one inning, getting them three up and three down, striking out two. The leadoff hitter grounded weakly to second. Will threw nine strikes and five balls.
He also handled all three grounders hit to him at short.
Will batted second. In the first inning he singled to left center. He could’ve had an RBI, but the coach played it safe and held the runner at third. Will stole second base, and both runners scored on a two out single. The Cougars went on to score five more runs in the inning.
In the second inning Will drove the ball to left field, but the outfielders were playing deep, and the ball was caught.
Will led off the fourth inning, facing a new pitcher. The first three pitches were balls, then Will took a strike, but the next pitch was in the dirt for ball four. Again Will stole second. Malcolm hit a grounder to the shortstop. As Will started to third, he purposely positioned himself between the ball and the shortstop, shielding the ball from the shortstop’s vision. The ball went through into left field, and Will scored from second on the play.
The game started at six. Matthew had a 5:00 practice across the parking lot. The big thrill for him was after practice riding the short distance to Will’s field in his coach’s yellow Jeep, standing up.
Other Cougars news…
Jared’s dad said the tornado hit the back of their church property, bounced over the church, and hit the front of the property…knocking down over 30 trees. The building wasn’t damaged. An amazing thing was that last week roofers were scheduled to put on a new roof, but they were delayed until this week.
Malcolm pitched three innings and only gave up two hits, walked none, and struck out five. He threw only 12 balls and 37 strikes. He did so good the first two innings the coach let him pitch a third inning. He only got to three balls on one batter…kind of like Andrew Evans used to do. Malcolm was also tearing around the bases, scoring from first base.
Corey hustles more than anyone, and had putouts playing first, second, and left field.
Those Braves throwbacks from the game last night are something to motivate me to learn to download pictures to the blog. They were about as good as it gets…baggy pants, the off white tint, striped socks, no names, baggy shirts. Why they wore those new 2005 caps I’ll never know. I was hoping there would be a miraculous comeback, so they'd want to keep wearing them. I’ll write GM JS suggesting these be made the permanent uni, if the string of division titles ever ends.
Heard JF interviewed on 680 that originally aired in the AM. Then on FSN he gave the same answers that afternoon. Says “to be honest” too much. Kincaid wondered if he shouldn't be sent to the minors, and just hours afterwards he homers twice. Good call.
Hopefully we’ll get a Dell in the next week or so. Tonight I’m slammed…perhaps I can do some research in SC, but we’ll be busy there as well. Like you said, Apples are expensive, especially as much as we use a PC. Ceil’s got that graphics background, they all love Macs. Didn’t Bryan get an Apple laptop? Seems like you see lots of them at NP…kinda like a status symbol, that we can’t afford.
