Tournament Game #2: RIVERDOGS 16 Bulls 10

What a game! The Bulls can definitely hit that ball! They definitely earned every run they scored! The Riverdogs continue to play great and work together. They practice specific drills with their coaches and the plays are executed in games. It's very impressive and the DAWGS have come a long way!

Here's how we looked DEFENSIVELY...

1st inning:
The first 2 Bulls' batters hit doubles into right and right centerfield.
Benjamin (centerfield) threw the ball to Luke (shortstop) at second base for an out!
Lawson went running back and over to his left for an impressive fly ball catch for the second out!
Charley caught a foul ball between third base and the visitor dugout for the last out!

2nd inning:
A 1-2-3 inning!
Luke (shortstop) to Ian (first) for out #1.
Luke caught a low fly ball for out #2.
Luke (shortstop) to Ian (first) for out #3.

3rd inning:
Another 1-2-3 inning!
Charley (third) to Ian (first) for out #1.
Luke caught a fly ball at shortstop for out #2.
Charley (third) to Ian (first) for out #3.

4th inning:
The Bulls were hitting the ball in this inning!
Luke (shortstop) to Lawson (second) for out #1.
Luke (shortstop) to Ian (first) for the last out.

5th inning:
The Turner brothers (Gavin-pitcher to Ian-first) for the first out.
Charley (third) to Ian (first) for out #2.
Okay, so the ball is out to right centerfield..Jack backs up his teammate, gets the ball and fires it to Lawson...Lawson turns around and throws the ball to Luke at second base to get the runner out! WOW!

6th inning:
Luke made an unassisted play at second for out #1.
Benjamin (centerfield) to Luke (shortstop) at second base for out #2.
Charley (third) to Lawson (second) in a fielder's choice to end the game!

It's fun watching our catchers behind the plate! Great work Jack, Luis, Cullen and Griffin!
