An “A” Game
Reported from Premier Field by Danny K. - May 4, 2008
When you see a match up between the A’s and the Angels, it is natural to expect a great game. What happened was all that was promised. The game was exciting and close, but in the end, the A's came out ahead in the final score, winning 8-7.
With Thomas L. pitching, the game began with the visiting Angels coming to bat. Mathew R. started off with a hard hit grounder single. After that,“T-Lap” bounced back, getting 3 straight outs.
In the bottom of the first, Jason C. ripped one to center with 1 out. 3 batters later, on an 0-2 count with the bases loaded, Dylan T. tattooed one to left-center and gave a present to the ducks relaxing in Polliwog Pond. “It felt cool,” said Dylan of the grand slam, “I just tried to make contact.”
In the 2nd, Thomas L. was hurling the ball, clocking in at 61mph. After 40 pitches, Jason C. relieved him, and the quiet top of the inning finished with a good play byThomas L. On the flip side of the inning, Tanner K. completed his start with a strikeout and David O. finished the inning by getting the next two batters with strikeouts.
Matthew R. started a rally for the “Halos” in the top of the 3rdwith a great single over the third baseman’s head. Thomas S., Gabe S., and Michael scored along with Mathew M. In the bottom of the inning, Will D. then hit a hard grounder that got past the shortstop, hitting the fence in left center andscoring 2.
In the 4th, Vince M. hit a great triple down the right field line, and Tanner K. capped off the rally with a 2 RBI single, knocking in Michael R. and Vince M. The A’s bounced back in the bottom of the inning. After Duncan M. doubled and a walk by Jeffrey D.,Thomas L. drove in 2 runs with a ground rule double.
The 5th was a quiet inning. Dylan T. and Gabe S. both pitched well.
Us faithful watchers only got to see the top of the 6th, because the game was over after Dylan T. had a 1-2-3 inning with 2 strikeouts.
Over all,the contest was well played. The game had a professional-like feel, with few errors and solid rips. Connor L. made a great catch and Duncan M. showed some crazy “wheels" as he sprinted and got a double. Both teams played a nice game, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see another match upbetween them late in the playoffs.
Next up for the Angels are the Nationals, while the 4-1 A’s face the 4-1 Mets.
