Good News, Bad News ... and Even Better News ---
The Good ... Improvement. If the kids aren't going to bring coach food, this is the next best thing that I like to see: Hits up, strikeouts down. Offensively, we had 25 hits and reached base on errors/fielders choice an additional 6 times. Throw in two innings of 5-runs max and that's rock-n-roll baby ... as a matter of fact, if you look at those two innings we had 16 HITS, 10 RUNS and ONE out (a strikeout no less). Dang ...
So who was responsible for this madness? Joshua, Austin and Nick G had two hits and scored twice ... Tyler also had two hits and crossed the plate three times ... Nick O had three hits and key RBI's ... Colin, Jimmy, Cameron A, and DP had two hits ... and Anthony and Blake fought their way on base as well.
The Bad ... 6 errors in 5 innings. Not the Giants baseball we have been accustomed too but there were some great plays we witnessed ... Tyler's catch at SS and play at 3rd, DP's play at 2nd, Anthony's backup from CF to 2nd getting the out, Cameron A's and Nick's play at 3rd with strong throws across the diamond ... but none were better than Blake's amazing chase down of the ball from pitcher towards 1st and the underhand toss to 1B Anthony just beating the runner.
Even Better ... this game we turned to offense instead of defense for Game Ball (which is okay, since chicks dig the long ball) and one person absolutely stood out over the rest. He was batting 7th in the lineup the day before the game ... but then he did something very smart by helping defend the Coaches during a battle at Bounce U ... so yep, he earned himself extra playing time AND leading off for the team ... so what happens on game day? Well, Mr. Cameron "Fishy" Fisher steps in and hits 4-4 ... with three singles and a power alley double ... scores 3 times (almost all 4) ... hits 3 RBIs (LEADING OFF) ... and and and, well what else more can you say? Except Pizza Stained Game Ball honors baby! Lesson learned here? .... Always listen to and help coach and good things happen!
