Game #3: RIVERDOGS 17 Thunder 5

It's always nice to be at West Raleigh, watching your child(ren)'s game and cheering for kids on both teams whether they made great plays, hit the ball well, neighbors of yours or former teammates. It's a great atmosphere to be a part of and it goes a long way.

Now on to the game that was played tonight...

Here's how the DEFENSE looked...

1st inning:
Gavin (pitcher) to Ian (first) for out #1.
John had a great back up play at left center for the second play.
Luke caught a fly ball at shortstop for the second out.
Lawson had an unassisted play at first to cover for Ian to end the inning.

2nd inning:
John (secon) to Luke (first) for out #1.
Luke had an unassisted play at first for the second out.

3rd inning:
Lawson (second) to Ian (first) for the first out.
Charley (pitcher) to Ian (first) for the second out.
Charley caught a fly ball at pitcher to end the inning.

4th inning:
Cullen held a runner to first in the first play.
A double play thanks to Charley! He caught a line drive ball at third base and then threw the ball to Lawson at second for the second out.
Lawson (second) to Ian (first) for the last out.

5th inning:
The Dawgs' defense did not have any outs.

6th inning:
Luke (shortstop) to Ian (first) for the first out.
Luke (shortstop) to Lawson (second) for the second out.
Lawson (second) to Ian (first) for the last out.

Can't forget those outfielders who are improving a lot on backing up their teammates! Great job Cullen, Gavin, Lawson, Griffin, John, Jack, Noah, Ian and Benjamin.

Also, the kids worked hard playing catcher and learning to take that mask off quickly to try and catch a fly ball or make a play. Great job Jack, Cullen, Griffin and Luis!
