Number 19 again.
Yesterday I had my first summer baseball game this year. We played Joe Schwartz (Shworts) Baseball Academy. Before the game I thought they might be better than us because they were kind of like an AAU team. So I got to the game and started warming up. Before the game started my dad (coach) did what he always does - post the batting order and where we're playing. The batting order went like this: Louis, Daniel, Connor, Aidan, Greg, Patrick, Jeffrey, Jack Br., Nolan, Jake, and Jack Ba.
When the game started, Louis struck out. I was so worried then. One of our top hitters struck out. Then Daniel walked. Connor walked. Then Aidan got hit with the pitch. Bases loaded. Greg smacks a foul ball out into right field. The right fielder caught it but he wasn't ready and Daniel tagged up and went home. Then it was Patrick's turn to bat. He hit a double. Then it's my turn to bat. I hit one over the 2nd baseman's head. I round 1st. The 2nd baseman throws home. I go to 2nd. It goes past the catcher and I try to get to 3rd but got thrown out. That was 3 outs but it was not a force play so the runs counted! I was feeling good then. It was my first time up to the plate. I smash a double, almost a triple.
Then I had to get the catcher's stuff on. That inning I didn't let a ball get past me and they weren't all thrown right to my glove. The next inning I was catching. I only let 1 ball get past me. But there was no one on base so it didn't matter. There were no steals on me. Those were the exciting innings. The final score: Joe Schwartz Baseball Academy - 0 Southborough Americans - 10. That's good. In our first game we shut the other team out.
P.S. My batting average is .500 now and I have 2 RBIs.
Good game Southborough.
