Well after a short break, I am getting my head back in the game...and I was hoping to walk the trail in the hour that the boys are practicing before the games start, but Andy decided he wanted to go to the Krispy Kreme donut shop nearby!
Tonight the Tigers face off with the Halton Hills Eagles at our home field in Mississauga. The game began right at 8:30 p.m. Aaron remained in the dugout as the Tigers took the field, with # 19 on the mound. The first inning was very short for the Eagles with their first batter hitting but out at first; the second gets hit with a pitch and walk; the third pops up and is caught and the final batter hits but is also out at first.
It was 3 up 3 down for the Tigers as our first and third batters strikes out and the second hits but is out at first.
Number 19 heads back to the mound as the Eagles go back up to bat. The first batter hits a nice once, right through out third baseman’s gloves and he’s safe on first; the second batter gets hit with a pitch and walks; the third batter strikes out; the fourth batter fouls a few before striking out and the final batter strikes out.
Our boys are back up to bat for the bottom of the second. Our first batter hits and is safe on first; the second hits and is also safe; the third gets hit with a pitch and walks…and the bases are loaded! The fourth batter walks, and the first run in this game is scored! The fifth batter hits and is safe…and another run is scored. The sixth batter hits and is safe on first, but the runner is thrown out at home. The seventh batter hits and is safe, and another run is scored. The eight batter hits but is out at first but another run is scored. The ninth batter hits a nice one, and brings in 2 more runs. The tenth and final batter in this inning hits but it’s caught. The Tigers scored a total of 6 runs in this inning.
Top of the third was another quick one. The first batter hits but is out at first and the next both strike out.
The Tigers are up to bat again and the first batter hits and is safe on first; the second batter strikes out; the third hits and is out at first…but 1 run is scored; and the fourth batter strikes out to end the inning.
Top of the fourth and the Eagles’ first batter hits and is safe on first; the second walks; the third hits and is safe on first but the runner is out at second. The fourth batter is up to bat and the runner tries to steal second and is thrown out and then the batter strikes out…ending the inning with still no runs for the Eagles!
The Eagles sends in a new pitcher for the bottom of the fourth. Our first batter hits and is safe on first; the second walks; the third hits and 1 run is scored; the fourth hits and it’s caught in center field…but a run is scored; the fifth batter hits and it’s caught in left field…but another run is scored and the final batter hits and its caught. That’s 3 more runs for the Tigers for a total of 10.
Top of the fifth and Aaron finally emerges from the dugout…taking his position on the mound. The first batter walks on a full count; the second hits and is out at first; the third hits and our third baseman misses the ball again and the batter is safe on first; the fourth batter gets hit with a pitch and walks; the fifth batter hits and is out at first and the sixth batter strikes out. Still no runs for the Eagles!
The Tigers are back up to bat and it was a short inning as our first two batters strike out and the third hits and is out at first.
I am not sure why the game hasn’t ended as the Tigers have a 10-0 lead and it was already the fifth inning!
Aaron heads out to the mound again for the top of the sixth. The first batter strikes out; the second hits one over Aaron’s head is safe on first; the third hits but is out at first and the fourth hits right towards Aaron and is out at first.
Bottom of the sixth and our first and second batters both strike out and Aaron is up to bat…this is the first time he is batting in this game! He ends up walking and quickly steals second. The fourth batter gets hit with a pitch and walks; the fifth pops up in field…and the Eagles miss the catch. The base are loaded now and the sixth batter walks, bring home Aaron…to score run # 11, and ending the game!
Way to go Tigers...donuts for everyone to celebrate!!!
