Game 2 Recap

HITTING…everyone scored except Bradford & John Fulton. Everyone reached base except Bradford.
Christian…struck out, grounded out to first, grounded to the SS, and walked…scored one run, had 2 RBI.…was waving with his wrists at some tough low & outside pitches, needs to work on staying back and making a full swing.
Paul…walked, struck out looking and swinging, popped to second.…he has been aggressive at the plate…seems to make his mind up to swing, and went after some high pitches, though in his last at bat he held off some.
Russell…walked 3 times, grounded to second, scored 3 runs.
Will…infield pop, fly to center, walked, doubled down 3rd base line.…swung at at least one bad pitch.
David…lined out to center, struck out swinging, grounded to short, grounded to third.…scored twice on wild pitches, once from second base.
John Fulton…after striking out swinging 3 times, he lined to single to left to drive in a run.…after seeing Will & David score on wild pitches he tried it himself, but the ball bounced back, & he was tagged out.
Bradford…both times he struck out the catcher dropped the 3rd strike, and Bradford didn’t run.…hit a grounder down the 1st base line he could’ve hustled more on as well…some times it’ll make a difference.…needs to get his turn hitting early tonight, since he missed hitting last Tuesday.
Jonathan…grounded to short, struck out swinging, was hit by a pitch…then hustled to second on a pitch that didn’t get too far away from the catcher.
Michael…struck out looking & walked twice…scored 2 runs.
Josiah…walked twice & was hit by a pitch. He was comfortable on base taking leads…did he not score from first when running on the 3-2 2 out pitch, when Paul popped to second?
Joey…struck out looking twice, and walked…scored a run.

FIELDING
Michael made that nice play on the grounder at third base. Jonathan made one nice backhand catch at first, but let at least one get past him…he made a good throw to second to beat that slow runner. John Fulton…dropped the throw to nail the slow runner…he should be ready next time. Joey…waiting til the ball went past him in RF to go after it…but did better on the next ball hit to him. Paul…fielded a grounder for a putout at first. Was that him at 2nd in the last inning, throwing out a runner at 1st? Russell…caught a fly ball in the 3rd and got it in quick, freezing the runner at 3rd.…then lost the 2 fly balls in the lights the last inning, though he looked like he had a bead on them. Will…tossed the ball to Christian to force the runner at home. David…at short, threw out the lead runner at 3rd…at catcher, threw the ball past Bradford at 1st, into RF.…he also had a putout at the plate on a force play in the last inning. Josiah…had a putout at 1st…he almost pulled his foot off the bag too quickly! Bradford…let a ball get past him at first, but at pitcher he fielded a grounder and forced the runner at the plate. Christian…did ok at catcher, catching the toss from Will for the force.

PITCHING
Bradford walked 3 of the first batters he faced, but the 3rd walk was on a full count. Then he got the next 3 batters to hit into outs (but 2 were dropped in CF)…then Bradford struck out the last batter. All of the runs he allowed were unearned. Josiah threw 60% strikes and struck out 2, only walking one, and allowed one unearned run.
