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!
Here's the OFFENSE...
Lawson: 3-4 with 1 RBI and 3 runs scored
Ian: 2-4 with a double, triple, 2 RBI and 1 run scored
Luke: 4-4 with 3 RBI and 2 runs scored

Fall 2011 Opening Ceremonies
 |
| Getting all the teams seated for the West Raleigh Opening Ceremonies...can you find the Riverdogs?! |
 |
| and the rest of the teams on the right side |
 |
| The Riverdogs were well represented! |
 |
| A Riverdog Dad, Jim Bowdish, is the President of the West Raleigh Exchange Club |
 |
| The Minor League teams (i.e.-Riverdogs) play on Nowell Field. The softball teams and the 5 year olds from the minor league teams (represented by our own Gavin Turner and Cullen Price) were invited to the pitcher's mound to watch Mr. Nowell (almost 80 years old) to throw the first pitch. |
 |
| To end the event is the fun relay. Benjamin was chosen to represent the Riverdogs! |
 |
| and we were fortunate to have two spots on relays...John was the other representative. |
