4th Game

(editing complete)
Well, we lost the game, which means we're out of the tournament and done with baseball. :( Still, we stayed in the game two games longer than was possible, so we're all pretty cool with it.


1st Inning: We were home (for the 4th time in a row!) and Mat opened up our pitching (3 batters/10 pitches/2 strike-outs). The first batter hit a pop-fly to the shortstop, and the second and third batters struck out. P got out at first, Mat struck out, and J hit a pop-fly. SCORE: 0-0.

2nd Inning: Mat pitched to 6 batters (21 pitches/1 walk). Two hits went to P (2nd) who threw them to S (1st), and one grounded to S (1st). Two runs were scored. On offense, S struck out, Samuel got out at first, Mas to first, Dr got to second (on errors), and Da got out at second. Both Mas and Dr crossed home plate. SCORE: 2-2.

3rd Inning: Mat pitched to 5 batters (15 pitches/1 strike-out). Then Samuel came in after one out to pitch to 6 batters (14 pitches/0 strike-outs). Besides Mat's strike-out, they hit a pop fly to second, as well as a hit to second that was thrown to first. Fredericksburg scored five runs that inning. Co was the first to the plate; he got to second on a bunt (errors). P and Mat then walked. J got to first, and S got to second (he got out while stealing third). Samuel got out at first, and Mas struck out. Co, P, Mat, and J all crossed home plate. SCORE: 6-7.

4th Inning: J pitched to 9 batters (20 pitches/1 walk). The first batter hit a pop-fly to Mat (shortstop), and the second batter hit a grounder to P (2nd) that was thrown to first for an out. It was the ninth batter that got the last out the same way. They had four runs. On offense, Ch (in for Dr) walked, G (in for Da) got out at first, and Co bunted and got out at first. SCORE: 6-11.

5th Inning: J pitched to 5 batters (21 pitches/1 strike-out/1 walk). The first batter got out (on another play) at second, the fourth batter hit a pop-fly to Mat (shortstop), and the fifth batter struck out. We were at the top of our lineup again. P got out at first, Mat got to first, J got out to first, and Mat got out running to home. SCORE: 6-11.

6th Inning: J pitched to 4 batters (8 pitches/1 walk). The first batter hit a grounder to P (2nd) who threw it to first and got him out. The second batter hit a grounder to J (pitcher) who threw it to first and got him out. The fourth batter hit a pop-fly to Mat (shortstop). On offense, S struck out. Samuel had an hit (unfortunately not recorded on video) and got to first. Mas hit a pop-fly. Dr and Da got to first, but Dr got out at second. Samuel made it across home plate. FINAL SCORE: 7-11.
