May 11, Giants (10-1-1) vs Angels (5-5-2)
And the train continues to gain steam ... as this team is on the right track ... and heading in the right direction ...
The Hit Parade started early as Colin and Cade (3B) blasted shots into Right Field ... Caleb followed suit with a hit and Aidan (2B) drove him home. In the 3rd, Dylan lead things off with a grounder to 2nd base, which he beat out by RUNNING LIGHTENING QUICK!! I swear I blinked after contact, and when I opened my eyes a second later Dylan was standing on the bag! Then Anthony, Colin, Caleb, Tyler, Aidan and Nick hit singles. With 4 runs in, bases loaded and 2 outs, Mitchell steps in and BLASTS ........ the catchers mitt into play! The leather was just as good as the ball so he scores the 5th RBI of the inning. In the 5th Anthony starts it off with a hit and scores the final run off the bat of Colin. Choo Choo ...
Pitching was decent as SP Cade was able to minimize the 1st inning damage to one run on a nice 4 pitch strikeout ... and it only took 3 pitches the start of the 2nd inning for the quick K. RP Aidan faced the minimum three batters taking care of business ... RP Tyler closed it out only allowing a run over 2 innings and striking out two. Chugga Chugga Chugga ...
Defensively the Giants were ON ... SS Colin quickly exchanged the ball to 1B Caleb who had to one hop the catch for the out and making Colin a quarter lighter ... 1B Aidan took the unassisted grounder for the out ... P Tyler made a couple of plays to 1st and a nice "I GOT IT!!!" catch ... and finally 3B Cade stood tall as he snagged the popup midair. Choo Choo ...
OVERALL D: 2 RUNS, 5 HITS, 5 PO, 10 Ks, 0 ERRORS
The Hit Club members are Anthony (2-2, 2 R, 2 SB), Colin (3-3, 2 R, 2 RBI, 2 SB) and Caleb (3-3, 2 R, 2 RBI, SB). These guys are raking the ball and in the ZONE!
Game Ball honors went to a deserving leader of this team ... it seems whenever we need a big run to start a game .. or with 2 outs .. or to finish a 5 run inning .. or to end a game, this player is the one up to bat and getting the timely hit. His play at catcher is a huge reason why our pitchers are so successful .. and his ability of "framing" and "freezing" the ball forces the umpire to call strikes. He is the backstop .. the brick wall .. the catcher ..... So WHO is this man behind the mask??? Why it's Nick O'Brien of course!!! Keep up the solid work kid!
