Will's Thursday Game


Will’s team won another easy game Thursday, beating Holy Spirit Prep 13-0 on the road in Buckhead. It was a good game for Will to get back into practice, after his long layoff. Batting leadoff, Will reached base all four times, collecting two singles and a double…making him his team’s most productive offensive player.


On the mound he pitched two hitless innings, striking out five batters. Will played third base the first two innings and shortstop the last inning, handling his only grounder flawlessly.


1st inning…Will led the game off with a line drive single to right field. He stole second, advanced to third on a single to left, and scored on a home run.


2nd inning…Hit a chopper down the third base line, reaching when the third-baseman’s throw was off the mark. This drove in the runner from third. With a runner on third ahead of him, Will advanced to second. He then tagged up on a fly ball to short right field and advanced to third, before the inning ended.


4th inning…Will doubled deep into the leftfield corner, driving in the runner from second.


5th inning…With two out, the pitcher threw three straight balls to Will. Needing all the hitting practice possible (and with nothing to gain from a walk), I encouraged him to swing. He lined a 3-0 single over the shortstop's head to left, driving in the runner from second.
