The Last Game of the Regular Season...RIVERDOGS 7 Lookouts 5

What a weekend!! Rain, rain and more rain! Our game against the Lookouts on Saturday was canceled due to the weather. Coach Lance was able to straighten everything out with the West Raleigh officials and they changed their decision...we were going to make up the game on Sunday at 1pm. That meant the Minor League tournament schedule would be changed!

Whether we played the last game of the season or not...the Riverdogs claimed the #2 spot in the league...just a 1/2 game out of first. Not bad at all!

Here's what our DEFENSE showed...

1st inning:
2 unassisted plays by Tony at first base for the first 2 outs! Lawson did a great job backing him up.

2nd inning:
Playing out in the left field area...a ball was hit to Tony and he was able to stop the ball, which allowed the runner to stay at first base. Then, another ball was hit to Andrew in center. With a power throw...the runner ended up with a single. Great job outfielders for backing each other up and keeping the ball in front of you!

Ian had an unassisted out at first base for out #1.
Lawson caught a fly ball at second for the second out.
Lawson (2nd base) through the ball to first (Ian) to end the inning.

3rd inning:
Luke (3rd base) threw the ball to Ian (1st) for out #1.
Andrew, playing pitcher, threw the ball to Ian at first for another out to end the inning.

4th inning:
Joshua caught a fly ball out in right field for out #1!
Christian played great back up to throw the ball back into the infield and Andrew kept the runner at first as he threw a ball into the infield quickly.
Tony (playing first) threw the ball to Blake (shortstop) for out #2.
Lawson (second base) to Tony (first base) to end the inning!

5th inning:
Christian and Tony played great defense in the outfield as they played great back up to get the ball back into the infield quickly.
Aidan caught an infield fly at the pitcher's mound for an out.

6th inning:
Another great defensive play by Christian to hold the runner at first.
An infield fly ball to Tony at first for out #1.
A pop fly to Aidan at the pitcher's mound for out #2.
A fielder's choice hit to Lawson...he throws the ball to Blake at second base to end the inning!

Now our OFFENSE...

Josh: 2-3 (hits to left field and right center) and a run scored
Lawson: hard hits, but will get them next time
Luke: 3-3 with 2 doubles, 1 RBI and 3 runs scored (hits to left, center and left center)
Blake: 2-3 with a homerun over the fence at centerfield and 2 RBI
Tony: 2-3 with a double, RBI and a run scored (hits to short and left field)
Ian: 1-3 with 1 RBI and 1 run scored (a hit to right center)
Andrew: 1-2 with 1 RBI (hit right down the middle)
Aidan: 1-2 with 1 RBI (nice hit to center)
Brandon: 1-2 (a hit to second)
Christian: hard hits, but will get them next time
Benjamin: 1-2 with a hit to shortstop
John: 1-2 with a hit to third
Griffin: 1-2 with a hit to the pitcher

We scored 2 runs in the first, 3 runs in the 4th and 2 runs in the 6th!
