Grey or Bald, let me choose

What hairs I have left, are quickly going grey. Aye carumba, what a game. Where do I start? Well, let's start with Alex. Very good job of pitching. Of course he started out by giving up the dong. And then Ozzie immediately heard the bells. He put a nice dent in the sign too. Glad to see he was able to come back and play later in the game.

Mickey did a good job pitching tonite too. I know he gave up the lead, but we had 3 or 4 errors in that last inning. Flat out, Mick did his job, and the guys didn't help him out. I don't like physical errors, but I'm not gonna get mad about it. They are 12 years old, they will make physical errors. We didn't really have too much in mental errors. We had a couple balls thrown to the plate, that someone should have called them off, but that comes with practice as a team, and we haven't had a lot of that.

So on to batting. I did have confidence in that last inning, despite being down by two. I told the guys, these are the situations that legends are made. I don't know if they believed me, but with the top of the order coming up, I thought we had a better than 50-50 chance. And Taylor, Andy, Alex, Jerald, and JD all played a role in making those 3 runs happen in the bottom of the 6th.

JD had a great night at the plate with 2 singles, a double, and a walk. I really liked Logan's double to drive in 2(I think) in the 3rd. We batted 10 in the 3rd inning. Cody started us off with that goofy looking 2 strike bunt. He is a good bunter, but I don't remember one going up in the air like that. But good hustle got him on base. And then we went hit batter, single, double(Mason's great at bat, after being down 1-2 in the count, worked it full, and then finished off with the hit), then double, double walk.

So in the end, it was ugly, but I'll take it. I'm proud of the boys for not giving up. Off to Ankeny tomorrow night. I might post a map here later. You can get to one off the league website tho. Reminder to take the Elkhart exit, it's faster than going down to 1st St and fighting all that traffic. Be there at 5:15 if you can.

Let me know if you didn't get pics tonite, we'll get some to you. Let me know if you haven't already, if you can work in the concession stand for some of the 11 year old game on Wednesday. And again, we are now playing at Story City at 8PM on Wednesday.
