What a game!! The fifth inning was an exciting one! Wow! Every team has a lot of talent and the spring draft was obviously an impressive one because the teams all have similar records! It's coming down to the very end of the regular season to find out the overall places! The Bees and the Riverdogs played well tonight.
Let's go through our defense...
1st inning:
Ian caught a fly ball out in center field for the first out.
Lawson had an unassisted out at second base for out #2.
The third out was impressive. The ball was hit out to right center...right near Brandon. He threw the ball to Blake (at short) and then he turned and gunned the ball to Luke at third for the third out! Impressive play right there and a great way for the Riverdogs to end that inning!
2nd inning:
A pop fly to Lawson at second for out #1. A fielder's choice to Lawson, so he chose to throw the runner out at second with Blake's help. The third out included a fly ball to Blake at shortstop.
3rd inning:
An infield fly ball to Tony at first for out #1. Then, two fielder's choice opportunities for Lawson. Both times he threw the runner out at second with Blake's assistance!
4th inning:
An infield fly to Luke at third four the first out. Blake and Tony combined their efforts to get the runner out at first for out #2. The third out was between Lawson (2nd base) and Tony (at first).
5th inning:
Lots of action here...The first batter hit the ball out to Andrew in center field, but he was able to quickly throw the ball in and hold the runner to a single. A ball was hit to John in right field area and he quickly threw the ball in to keep the runner at second. Josh, playing catcher in this inning, quickly stood up and caught a pop fly foor the first out. Out in left field, Tony quickly stopped the ball and threw it into the field to hold the runner at second base. Then, a ball was hit to Blake (at short) and had a great throw to Ian, playing first base, for an out. Luke had an unassisted out at third to end the inning. Phew!
6th inning:
Christian was playing right center and twice threw the ball into the infield. At one point, he was so close to throwing a runner out at first and the second time he came so close to throwing the runner out at second. Aidan caught a pop fly at the pitcher's mound for out #1. Luke threw the ball over to Tony, at first, for out #2. Then, a ball was hit to Aidan (pitcher) and he threw the ball over to Tony at first for out #3 to end the game!
The outfielders (and infielders) did a great job backing each other up! Great work outfielders: John, Ian, Andrew, Brandon, Christian, Benjamin, Tony, Joshua and Griffin! Our two catchers have to be on it all the time even with all that gear on! Way to go Benjamin and Joshua!
Next, our OFFENSE!!!!
Joshua went 1-3 (single down the middle)
Lawson went 2-3 with a double to left field (single to right center)
Luke went 3-3 with a double to left center (hits to the pitcher and second base as well)
Blake went 3-3 with a HOMERUN and 5 RBI (another homerun to right field and then 2 singles down the middle)
Tony went 2-3 with 1 RBI (hits to 3rd base and a fielder's choice to short)
Ian went 2-3 with a triple (down the first base line near the fence) and 3 RBI (another hit out to center field)
Andrew went 3-3 with 2 RBI (a hit to left center and 2 to short)
Aidan went 1-3 with a triple (left field) and 2 RBI
Brandon went 1-2 with a double down the first base line
John went 2-2 with 1 RBI (singles to his favorite spot...left center area)
Christian, Benjamin and Griffin hit the ball hard this game and well get on base next time!
