We didn't hold our lead for long and at the start of the last inning Holliston was up 10-7. I was up with 1 out and I got walked. The next batter struck out. 2 outs. Jack was on 2nd and I was on 1st. 10-9 Holliston was winning. Matthew walked. Bases loaded, 2 outs. Still 10-9 and I was on 2nd. Louie hits the ball to shortstop and... and... and... the shortstop misses the grounder! I was rounding 3rd coming home while they were throwing the ball into the catcher. Slide! Slide! Slide! I slid home and the catcher just got the ball about two milliseconds after I slid home. "SAFE!" yelled the umpire. I had scored the winning run! Everyone on my team was jumping on me when I was walking back to the dugout. The final score was 11-10 Southborough. Don't you think that was an exciting finish?

A Hard-fought Game (click title for video)
Yesterday I played Holliston for the second time in summer league baseball. When we started the game, one-by-one Holliston: struck out, had a pop up hit to 1st base out, and hit a ground ball to 1st base for a ground out. 1, 2, 3 inning. When we got up, Louie hit a single. Our 2nd batter hit a grounder close enough to 1st so the fielder just tagged 1st. One out, man on 2nd. Connor got hit by a pitch and took his base. Then Aidan hit a single and Louie scored and Connor got to 3rd. Aidan stole 2nd. Greg got hit by a pitch. Then Tony got walked. Then Patrick hit and Connor ran home and Tony ran to 2nd. By the end of that inning we scored 4 runs. 4-0 Southborough was winning.
