The Fighting Cox

This was the second time we have played this team ( didn't write about the first one), and both results were pretty much the same, a decisive victory for Bottom of the Fifth.

The first inning though had us worried. We were first at bat and we scored a few runs and we started off strong. We get into the field and make some silly errors that put them in the lead. An over throw to second sent the ball just off the dirt behind first base. I run to get it and a hit that should have been held to a single with no one coming into home was converted to a triple and 1 or 2 runs came in.

After the first inning though we got it together a bit. Richie hit a grand slam, and I homered in my third at bat. One of the best hitting nights we've had in a while.

The funniest part of the game had to be our pitcher, Craig. He was pitching well the entire game, but his fielding...well left something to be desired. We had a large amount of slow dribblers go straight to him and for some reason he couldn't pick them up. And when he did, his throws were not very accurate. He threw one to me on first at my shoes, and one to third which went almost straight down and rolled over there. Needless to say we didn't get the outs on that one.

But despite a rough start and some crazy little fielding errors we won the game 12-5.

Next week is a double header, but I'm not sure against who, since all these rain outs have messed with the schedule quite a bit. I guess you'll just have to wait till next week to find out.
