Chapter 17 - The hardest thing to do in baseball is to hit a round baseball with a round bat, squarely. -- Ted Williams

Feb 6 Friday Morning: Sorry for being late in these postings. The week finally caught up to me. Its really Sunday and I am exhausted. The first day I slept passed 7am. But before I get ahead of myself let me recap the last couple of days.

The Friday morning game was a big game for us. If we win, we would have a good chance to go to the Championship game. If we lose, we fall all the way to the 5th vs 6th game. This was a coach’s pitch game vs Gedmans Bombers coached by Rich Gedman. They had only one loss and featured a father son combo that were incredible. The son finished second in the home run derby. I started at second base. Second inning tried to turn a double play but the ball sailed by me from the shortstop. This led to a couple runs. My first at bat, strike out – on coaches pitch??? Chad our skipper was not happy with my effort. Next at bat was a fielders choice. Had a couple of plays in the infield without error.

Maybe you can figure out by now that we did not win the game. We lost 9-3. This was our only loss at coaches pitch during the week, however our third loss in the morning. We are definitely not a morning team but can not be blamed by drinking and and partying the night before. Sorry no pictures, my cameraman took a break today.
