This was a game.
Not to brag, but Sean and I combined for a 9 inning shut out, and scattered about 7 hits. He got 3 Ks, I got 1.
That was good.
Sonny threw for the other team very admirably and neither team scored run for the first 4 frames. In the latter part of the game, Mike N, and Dave also pitched well, and if not for the one inning, it might still be going. This was a tight game, with little shift.
Highlights:
* Chris P. made a nice pop up play
* James played the eternal defense, and also filmed some instructional video
* Mitch also seemed to be all the places that I needed him to be, to catch the ball.
* It was an old vs. the new guard game: Translated, Bob and Tony got to be on the same team,
* Anna made two great plays, and one of them was a running catch that robbed me of what might have been a double, which in my terms, is like a normal person running to 7th base...
* The wind was again a concern
* The wind once again was up and blowing the entire time
* There is movement to ban the throw out the runner at 1st from the outfield play. Once in a while is alright, but it is happening a lot, to the same slow people, which makes it feel wrong somehow. The feeling of a clean hit to right center suddenly turns into being thrown out by 30 feet. It is up for debate.
* Our jazz band showed up late, swelled in size, and we couldn't hear them for most of the day. But they did play Take me Out to the Ball game at the middle 7th, so basically, they are family
* There was again a debate on outs vs. dropped on the transfer. Let's keep those balls in the hands.
*We played extra innings but the only thing that happened was that we scored another run,
