March 24th Morning Games

Saturday was another all-day baseball day. Ceil had dugout / field maintenance duty for Matthew’s 9:30 game. She said he hit the ball both times at bat, just not very far. He didn’t get any balls hit to him in the field.

Will’s Warriors won as convincingly as a team can win, as three pitchers combined to toss a No-Hitter. Offensively they scored six runs each time they came to bat, for a final score of 18 - 0.

Will walked in the first inning, stole second, tagged up and advanced to third on Clay’s pop out, and scored when a pickoff attempt sailed past third.

In the second inning Will popped out. Later Jake hustled to beat out an infield grounder, but tripped over the bag and scraped himself up pretty good. As the last batted out, Will pinch ran for him. Andrew was the next batter up. Will stole second on the first pitch, and advanced to third when the next pitch that bounced past the catcher. Then Andrew ripped a single into left field, and Will scored. Since Andrew was to be the catcher in the next inning, after Will crossed the plate I had Will pinch-run for Andrew as well. Again Will stole second on the first pitch, and third on the next pitch. Will later scored on a wild pitch.

With the bases loaded in the third, Will walked on four pitches, and later scored from first on David’s bases-loaded double.
