Thanks to note-taking from Grace, here is a nice little recap of what went down during the June 3, 2009 game:
Practice: Practice went fairly well. We had some problems catching the ball, but overall, everyone was in great spirits. Especially Kyle, until he realized who we were playing tonight. "Is that the team with the guy in the spandex shorts?" he asked. "I HATE this team!"
First Inning: Butler was pitching tonight. No, not pitchy. He wasn't singing. He was throwing the ball. Kyle did a nice slide to catch a ball, but didn't get the out. The other team got off to a very strong start, grabbing five runs immediately. Nate scores Russ' one run to end the inning.
Second Inning: Second verse, worse than the first. The opposing team gets seven runs, totaling 12 total. At this point, the word "mercy" was starting to float around. And no one would let that stand. Mike ran to home, but got caught between third and home, and had to wiggle his way out to score a run. Sarah has an easier time getting to home, same with Jason. The inning ends, 12 to 4.
Third Inning: Julie does some splits to get an out. There was some good tag-teaming to get the third out. No runs were scored by the other team. Russ', on the other hand, got a few. John went home, Nate followed, same with Kelli. (I have a video of that... it'll be up later.) nning ends, 12-7 -- above mercy territory.
Fourth Inning: No one scored. On either team. Dan and Mike both got on base, but, they shut us out as good as we shut them out earlier on in the inning.
Fifth Inning: The tides turn. Jason got to second, same with Mike. That is as far as they got. Earlier on, though, the other team scored three more runs, closing out the inning 15-7.
Sixth Inning: This is kind of the sixth inning and seventh, because we got to go up to bat twice, since it didn't matter if the other team got more points, did it? John scored another run, closing out the game 15-8.
Next week's game is at 6:15 again.
