The Juggernauts, Round 2

The second meeting of the Juggernauts vs. Scared Hitless went better than the first time. We won both of these games upping our record to 6-4. Not sure how the rest of the teams did yesterday but this weekend may have put us in the number 2 spot.

The first game for the team went really well. I wasn't to happy with my game personally, but the team did really well, winning 15-2. Our outfield had some great plays and our pitching was really good this game, and we had some really good heads up plays allowing us to get a few outs that we wouldn't have normally gotten. I think we need to work more on a few more running plays. For example. I was on first, the batter hit a dribbler to the pitcher. He scooped it up and I wasn't on the bag yet, I was still running to it, way in front of the batter. It should have been an out. But the pitcher threw it to where I was instead of where I was going to be while running. So the ball was thrown behind me and it was a double since I had to turn around and get off the bag.

Second game was a little bit closer than the first with a score of 10-6. With a bit better playing on my part than the first game. Infield did a great job of stopping the ball and getting into first. I even managed to snag a line drive.

The only sad part for me is that I was walked 4 of the 6 times I was at bat yesterday.

Oh and I almost forgot, I had a great play at home. I was running home and had a great slide and had to swing my leg around the pitcher (who was covering home) to tag the bag. I wish I had a camera, cause apparently it looked good. Big cloud of dust and when the dust cleared the ump yelled safe. It was a Kodak moment, even if now my left leg is all scraped up. I'm taking a beating for this team. Got a black eye from a ball at practice last Wednesday, and now my leg is all scraped up. Chicks, and by chicks I mean the Fiance, dig scars (and black eyes).

Next week is the late game against Ro's Hard Hitters.
