The teams in Rexdale are all done with their games for the Season and are just waiting for playoffs. Tonight's game is a make up of one that was postponed, most likely due to bad weather.
We got on the field just around 6:15 p.m. and even though the clouds were covering the sun, it was still a bit hot and humid!
For the first inning the Athletics were up to bat first, while Ariana covered the right outfield. Our pitcher was our coach's son, AGAIN!!! The back catcher tonight was also playing this position for the first time...yes, at the end of the Season. The catching together with the pitching wasn't the best combination, so it didn't take long for the Athletics to get their 5 runs.
The bottom of the first was quick but we still got 1 run before it was over.

Our coach sent in another pitcher, a girl, to start off the second inning. Ariana covered third base. Again the pitching wasn't the best and the bases are quickly loaded. The Athletics got another 5 runs in this inning.
Ariana is up to bat for the bottom of the second. After 2 strikes, she gets a walk to first. Another kid goes up and hits in the outfield, Ariana runs to second and is called to third. Why??? I will never understand what the coach was thinking!!! She is thrown out at third. Although the bases were loaded, we only got 1 measly run in that inning.

In the third inning, Ariana covers the left outfield. Another pitcher is sent in. By this time the clouds are really dark and the wind is blowing. You could see all the sand in the field being blown up...this certainly will not help the pitcher! The Athletics also got their 5 runs in this inning.
Bottom of the third and with 2 already out, Ariana goes up to bat. After ducking from a few pitches, she strikes out to end the game.
The final score was 15-2, for the Athletics.
