My blog was created to track my children's special moments on the field and their experience(s) with their respective teams. It is written through a mother's eyes. The intent is solely for the purpose of reliving the game(s) during post season. From my experience, there will be some bad plays / unfortunate incidents, and these may be recorded in order to follow the game(s). There will also be times when I will have questions or doubts...but these are MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION(S).

I apologize in advance if I do, but I do not intend to criticize any player, or coach...I SIMPLY CALL IT AS I SEE IT!!!

Rexdale Canadian Jays vs. Rexdale Newediuk Funeral Home - July 22, 2014

Tonight we had a clash in schedules for the kids' games, so I ended up with Ariana and Andy took Aaron to his game in Barrie.
 
Today was a HOT and humid day with temperatures reaching a high of 30 degrees but feeling more like 34 degrees!  Thank God there are lot of trees in Rexdale Park, so I was able to put my chair under a nice big tree and enjoy to breeze while watching the game.
 
After a bit of a delay, the game started at 6:40 p.m.  For the first time since the Season started there are 2 umpires for the game.  The older one is very popular and has a lot more experience than the one who normally umpires the game by himself.  This should be a good...and fair game then!

Newediuk were up to bat first and while Ariana covered 3rd base.  The pitching was good but Newediuk scored 2 runs before the inning ended.

Ariana is third in the line up when it's the Canadian Jays' turn to bat.  She walks on a full count, then steals second and third bases.  The bases were loaded and she tried to steal home but had to run back to third.  Newediuk managed to overthrow the ball and she reaches home safely, scoring one of the 5 runs in this inning.

Keep your eye on that ball!
In the second inning she covers first base.  Newediuk were able to get another 2 runs in.

The bases are loaded and there is one out where she goes up to bat in the second inning.  She swings at a low one and hits it and is safe on first...and gets an RBI.  She steals second and third but is left there when the inning ended...with 4 more runs for the Canadian Jays.

Ariana sits out the third inning as her team took the field.  Newediuk are hitting hard in this inning and manages to get their 5 runs to end the inning.

The bottom of the third and it is already 8:15 p.m...and the game is tied!  The Canadian Jays only need 1 run to win the game and it's their turn to bat.  It sounded easy but it was actually a lot harder that you would think.  With 2 outs already and one on base it was starting to look difficult when the next kid hits a nice one, bringing in an RBI...and the winning run!

And that's a game!
OMG...A Win!!!  Way to go Rexdale Canadian Jays!!!
