Backing up the catcher's throw down to 2nd base
My first at bat I popped out to the pitcher. My next time at bat, I struck out. I was pitching in the 3rd inning. My first batter hit a single. My second batter hit a single. My third batter hit it into center field and Louis dropped it. I struck out my fourth batter. My fifth batter hit the ball to 2nd base and we got the base runner out at 2nd. I struck out my 6th batter. Overall, I pitched 17 strikes and 6 balls. I think I pitched accurately but they were able to hit me. It's better than walking people since I have good defense behind me.
Final score: Southborough - 7 Liecester - 8. Off to the semifinals.
On the mound
Oh my gosh, what a close game! Also, what great pitching 17 strikes and only 6 balls thats great. Too bad you lost but good luck on your next game.
ReplyDeleteGreat job pitching!
ReplyDeleteWhat does Mom do when you are pitching? When Dillon and Brendan pitched, I would get so nervous and have to walk back and forth while watching the game. One time I even left the game! Keep throwing those strikes, so she can relax and enjoy the game.
Mary, you're concerned about Mom when he's pitching...you should see her when Jeffrey's catching! At one point in the game I was certain she was headed out to home plate to put the gear on herself!
ReplyDeleteHey... All the parents on the sidelines thought my "sliding" form was perfect as I tripped over my flip-flops in excitement and almost ended up on the infield! Who knows how far I would have run onto the field if I hadn't come crashing down?
ReplyDeleteJeffrey, the good thing was that you made the play at the plate and didn't let your mom's crazy antics distract you :)
