Game #8 vs A's (5-4, 8-0)

Posted by Matt Goodell on Apr 17 2009 at 05:00PM PDT

 

This was not the same A’s team we faced last week … I probably should of looked closer to see if their older brothers were playing for them because they sure did bring their “A” game making 10 plays all over the field.  But the Giants down a few runs in the 6th inning decided to put on a hitting display with SIX Straight Hits and ZERO Outs while scoring the winning run in the final inning.

 

OFFENSE:

Jimmy, Josh & Tyler batted an impressive 8-8 and totaled over 50% of our offense … and that my friend is how to get it done!  Anthony did not disappoint going 2-3 and scoring the game winning run … and the seven others reached base by hit or fielders choice.

 

DEFENSE:

2B Blake started off the game in Giants fashion recording a solid 4-3 out and a fly out all in the 1st inning.  3B Tyler had a nice pop out catch ….. and I’m all about momentum stoppers and none was bigger than RF Jimmy Jet’s HUMONGOUS catch in the outfield, are you kidding me?? ...  2B Colin made a couple of routine 4-3 plays and 3B Cameron A showed his stuff by tossing two of them across the diamond to record the outs at 1st.  1B Nick G again showed his glove at the bag catching everything and even making his own unassisted out.  In the end the Giant’s made 11 put outs and 2 errors.

 

GAME BALL WINNER:

These guys all make plays and hit the ball so well that making this decision is always tough … should it be NickO and his timely hit knocking 2 RBI’s with one swing?   Jimmy or Tyler’s awesome fielding and batting 1.000?  Or Josh’s hitting display and game winning hit?  After some thought we just had to give it to 3B Cameron A and his awesome clinic at 3rd base beating out the runners to 1st every time … I mean, to focus, position, field, know, throw and make the play is a tough thing to do under pressure ... but I don’t think Cam A knows what that is … so shhhh, don’t tell him, but you can pat him on the back and tell him GREAT JOB because those plays were fun to watch!!
