FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON!!!!!!
 |
| Infield pep talk during warm ups with Coach Cailean |
It was cold. It was overcast. It was warm at the plate in the top of the 1st inning though because the Riverdogs' bats were on FIRE! Just to show that I am not telling a story...yes, it was 39 degrees during our game!!!
It was an exciting first game for our team with lots of new players to West Raleigh and/or to the Minor League! Here's how we looked DEFENSIVELY...
1st inning:
Gavin (second) to Lance (first) for out #1
Gavin caught a fly ball at second for out #2
Donovan (third) to Gavin (second) for a tag out to end the inning
2nd inning:
Donovan (third) to Gavin (second) for the first out
Ben (shortstop) caught a fly ball at shortstop for out #2
Gavin (second) to Lance (first) for the third out
3rd inning:
Ben (shortstop) to Gavin (second) for out #1
Griffin (pitcher) to Hayden (third) for an out
4th inning:
Griffin (pitcher) to Lance (first) for out #1
Chris caught a fly ball at left centerfield for out #2
Lance caught a line drive at first base for the last out
5th inning:
Hayden had an unassisted out at third for out #1
Hayden caught a fly ball at third for out #2
Ben (shortstop) to Gavin (second) for the last out
The bees were hitting the ball to the fence quite a few times, so the outfielders had their work cut out for them...Hayden, Donovan, Alex, Brock, Jack, Christopher, Mark and Brody! Great work behind the plate wearing the full catcher's gear for the first time...Mark, Christopher and Brock!
