Josh caught a fly ball out in right field for the first out.
Christian caught a fly ball out in left center for the second out.
Josh had a ball hit out to him in right field, but with a powerful throw into the infield...the runner stayed at first base for a single.

2nd inning:
The first out was a ball hit to Luke at third and then he threw it to Ian at first.
Aidan (pitcher) threw the ball to Ian (first) for the next out.
Lawson (second) to Ian (first) for the third out. A nice 1-2-3 inning.

Brandon, Josh and Benjamin did a great job behind the plate and got out of the hole when they needed to!

All of this takes teamwork!
