Tonight we had another clash in the schedules and both Aaron and Ariana had their final games for the Season! Ariana's last game before playoffs start and Aaron's final game before the TBAs and OBAs. Since both fields were just approximately 20 minutes apart, I was able to go with Ariana and then catch a piece of Aaron's game.
First Game - Rexdale Canadian Jays vs. Martingrove Yankees at Rexdale Park.
The game started right on time at 6:30 p.m. and the Canadian Jays were up to bat first. The pitching from the Yankees wasn't the best and the bases were quickly loaded. With 1 run and the bases loaded, Ariana goes up to bat. After 2 strikes she manages to hit the next ball and it lands in the infield. She runs to first and the Yankees' short stop throws the ball to their first baseman...but he overthrows and she is safe! Ariana advances to second base and the bases are still loaded, the next kid hits a grand slam and brings everyone home. We only needed 5 runs, so his run didn't count.
For the bottom of the first, Ariana covers the left outfield. The Yankees had some really good hits and got their 5 runs to end the inning.
The second inning was a quick one and the Canadian Jays only got 1 run in. Ariana covers second base when the Yankees went up to bat. She had many opportunities to get outs at second and I was pleasantly surprised to see her catching the balls. The inning was long but the Yankees got their 5 runs.
Ariana starts off the third inning but strikes out. I believe the Yankees changed their pitcher because this kid was good! The Canadian Jays got a couple kids on base but didn't score any runs before the inning ended.
Bottom of the third and the Canadian Jays changed pitcher. Ariana sat out this inning. The Yankees got some hits but couldn't score any more runs.
The game ended just after 8:00 p.m. with a final score of 10-6, for the Yankees.
We have enough time to get to Tom Riley Park to catch the rest of Aaron's game. Andy text me to say Aaron will be pitching tonight but he wasn't sure what inning.
Second Game - RY Cardinals vs. North Toronto A's at Tom Riley Park.
As I was pulling into the parking lot I could see that Aaron was already on the mound. Even though all the boys wear the same uniform, I would recognize that pitcher from any distance!
While walking to the field I bumped into one of the Coaches and he said 'it isn't one of our better games'! I was told it was was the top of the 6th inning and there were already 2 outs. It didn't take me long to realize our defence wasn't awake tonight. Aaron's pitching was good and the A's were hitting...but our defence were not in this game. Aaron finally struck out the next kid and got the third out! Someone said his pitch count was 50 (for the 3 innings he pitched). The score was something like 9-1 now.
Bottom of the 5th and with 1 out, Aaron is up to bat. He ends up walking to first base and then steals second. The next kid hit and I am not sure where the ball landed but Aaron was called to third, and then the A's threw the ball to third! Aaron had to run back to second and it ended in a rundown...but they finally got him out at third! I never understand these calls, especially when we need the runs...there was no one one on first, so why was he told to run to third??? The inning ended with no runs scored!
For the 7th inning, Aaron covers first base. The boys got two quick outs and then they started making errors again. The A's weren't able to get any runs in this inning.
The bottom of the 7th was a quick one. The A's were not making any errors and our boys dropped like flies...and didn't score any more runs!!! The game ended and it wasn't even 10:00 p.m.
This was the last game for the Season so we should be able to have a life now but the boys are getting ready for the upcoming TBAs on August 15-17. That only means there will be extra days of practice!!!
