Game #10: RIVERDOGS 14 Scrappers 0

The Riverdogs played the Scrappers this morning with a 9:30am start, which meant the team needed to be there for pre-game practice at 8:30am. It's hard to believe the season is nearing the end. Wow! Coach Lance was so proud of how the team played defensively...so all DAWGS earned a gold bone! That's a pretty big deal to them to be able to put a gold bone on their batting helmets!

Here's how it all played out...DEFENSIVELY...

1st inning:
The Turner brothers had the first out (Gavin at pitcher to Ian at first base).
Lawson caught a fly ball at second base.
John caught a fly ball out in left centerfield in a 1-2-3 inning!

2nd inning:
Ian had an unassisted play at first base for out #1.
Lawson caught another fly ball at second base to end the inning.

3rd inning:
Lawson (second) to Ian (first) for out #1.
Charley caught an infield fly ball at pitcher for the second out.
Another Lawson to Ian throw for the last out. Another 1-2-3 inning.

4th inning:
Charley (pitcher) to Ian (first) for outs 1 and 2.
Ian (first) ran up, fielded the ball, turned around to throw the ball to Lawson who covered at first base for the last out. Beautiful play!!

5th inning:
Turner boys again for out #1 (Gavin at pitcher to Ian at first base).
Luke caught a fly ball at shortstop for the second out.
Lawson (second) to Ian (first) for the last out.

6th inning:
Jack (catcher) threw off his mask in about .2 seconds, picked up the ball and threw it to Ian at first base for an out. Another beautiful play by some Riverdogs!
John caught a line drive at third base to end the inning.

John, Benjamin, Gavin, Jack, Noah, Luis and Cullen did an outstanding job backing up the infielders!!! Behind the plate...hats off to Luis, Cullen and Jack! GREAT WORK!

Now for the OFFENSE...due to the run rule...we switched from offense to defense with one out...

Ian: 3-4 with a triple, double, single, 2 RBI and 2 runs scored
