Late last week I had written about my concern regarding Matthew and his teammates hitting the pitcher that Coach Turner had selected to pitch to the boys. This turned out to be a factor, as many boys did struggle with the pitching. But in the first inning the first few Storm batters were able to circle the bases with home runs. Matthew hit the ball past the first baseman in his first at bat, and scampered around to third…a triple!
In pregame batting practice Matthew had unusual success hitting several very low pitches, so in his second at bat he swung and missed at a couple of pitches in the dirt. Like many of his teammates, he wound up striking out.
In the field Matthew was a vacuum cleaner, stopping at least three balls at third base. While he did not convert any to outs, he prevented a few runs and extra bases. After the game he was awarded several game stars for his play.
