A Very Close Game

The National Anthem

Yesterday's game was an intense game against Sturbridge. We were away so we batted first. We didn't score any runs in the first inning. Neither did they. In the second inning, I got hit by a pitch in my helmet. No runs scored. They scored 1 run. In the third inning we scored 4 runs and I hit one to 2nd base and they got me out at first. We took the lead 4-1. They didn't score that inning.

In the fourth inning we scored 0 runs and that inning was a disaster. We let up 4 runs off errors!

This game is not going as well as I had hoped

In the fifth inning, we scored 1 run. They scored 1 run. 6-5 Sturbridge. I hit a grounder to the 2nd baseman in the top of the 6th inning and got thrown out. Nolan hit a single and then stole 2nd. Jake struck out. Patrick got up to bat with 2 outs, man on 2nd. Patrick hit a single and Nolan scored from 2nd! Daniel walked, Aidan walked... bases loaded. Jack Br flew out to Center Field. Game tied 6-6.

Anxiously watching from the dugout

Sturbridge is up and loads the bases with zero outs. My dad takes Aidan out and puts me in. I strike out the next batter. 1 out, bases loaded. I pitch a strike right down the middle. The batter hits it to me and I throw him out at home. 2 outs, bases loaded. I throw the ball. He hits it all the way to the fence. Safe at home. Sturbridge wins and advances to the championship game. We play Grafton on Saturday for 3rd place.
