Blue Team (2-1)
WIN, 23-12
BATTING: 4 AB, 4 hits (2 singles, 1 double, 1 HR), 3 runs scored, 4 RBI
PITCHING: 3 innings, 9 runs
FIELDING (P/LF): 3 chances, no errors (including, if I may say so, a pretty nifty 1-3 double play)
I feel like I finally broke out of a hitting slump for this team. The moral: don't swing so damn hard.
A breakdown of my at bats: hustle double (a sharp ground ball up the middle, should have been a single but I was aggressive in taking the extra base), infield single (fielded cleanly in the hole at shortstop, but I beat the throw to first; I'll try to be honest in these fuzzy hit/error situations), HR to deep right-center (though I slipped in the rain-soaked grass rounding second and almost tore myself in half), bloop double into left (probably better than I deserved).
Season-to-Date
BATTING: 16 AB, 9 hits (.563 AVG) 3 doubles, 2 HR (1.125 SLG) 8 runs, 9 RBI
PITCHING: 14 innings, 48 runs (24.00 RA, per 7 innings; 30.86 RA, per 9)
FIELDING: 25 innings, 1.000 FPCT
The wet weather made it impossible to debut the sound system for this game, so I'll hold out hope for next week. The rainbows and clean air made up for it, though. I was hopeful that the nearby immigration rights rally would feature some zippy salsa music, but it was just a lot of angry shouting, which is much harder to dance to.
