After a couple of cancellations, we are finally facing this team for the second time. This game was scheduled earlier in the season but was postponed due to lack of players; lack of a field or bad weather. The Tigers and the Diamondbacks are the 2 teams tied for first place in the loop right now.
Tonight I forgot my most prized possession...my camera. I guess I can blame it on the medication I am taking for a second eye infection but I still cannot believe that I forgot it! Not that I would be able to take any good photos with my swollen eye anyway. Aaron threatened to play his very best since I didn't have any camera! We will see...
The game begins right on time at 8:30 p.m. and the Tigers took the field, with # 1 on the mound and Aaron covering second base. The Diamondbacks' first batter pops up right behind second base and it's caught by Aaron; the second batter walks; the third batter is up to bat when the catcher throws to Aaron and he tags out the runner...and I don't have my camera...the batter hits and is safe on first; the fourth batter hits and is safe on first and the fifth batter hits towards the pitcher and he's out on first.
Aaron starts us off but he ends up striking out after fouling a nice one just behind third; the second batter also strikes out and the third hits but is out at first.
The same defence head back out on the field for us. The first batter hits one over Aaron's head and it lands in the centre field and he's safe on first; the second hits to our pitcher who then throws to Aaron and then Aaron throws to first to get a nice double play. The third batter strikes out.
Bottom of the second and our first batter hits and is safe on first; the second also hits and is safe on first but the runner is out at second; the third hits but is out at first and the fourth strikes out.
Top of the third and the first batter hits one right towards Aaron and he catches it; the second batter also hits and Aaron dives and gets that one too...oh man, of all the days to forget my camera! The third batter strikes out to end the inning.
The Diamondbacks send out the same defence for the bottom of the third and our first batter strikes out; the second hits but is out at first and Aaron is up again...with 2 outs!!! After 2 strikes, he grounds a nice one and he is safe on first but they overthrown the ball at first so he gets another base. The fourth batter hits a nice one and is safe on second, and Aaron is able to score the first run in this game! The fifth batter hits but is out at first, ending the inning.
Our defence head back out for the top of the fourth and the first batter hits right behind first base and it's caught, by Aaron! This kid is all over the field tonight! The second batter hits and is safe on first; the third batter walks; the fourth batter is up, and a run is scored on a wild pitch, and he hits but is out at first. The fifth batter hits a nice one in left field and is safe on first, and another run is scored. The sixth batter hits in right field and is safe on first; the seventh batter is hit with a pitch and walks...and the bases are loaded. The eight batter is caught in right field. Whew!!!
Bottom of the fourth and our first batter hits a nice one in centre field and he's safe on first; the second gets caught in centre field; the third walks; the fourth hits right into the first baseman's gloves and someone struck out somewhere in this inning but I lost track.
We send out # 23 to the mound for the top of the fifth and Aaron is still covering second base. The first batter strikes out; the second walks; the this is up to bat when the catcher throws to Aaron and he tags out the runner, and then the batter strikes out.
The Diamondbacks are still using the same pitcher for the bottom of the fifth. Our first batter strikes out; the second pops up and is caught and Aaron is up, again with 2 outs! He ends up walking with 4 straight balls and wastes no time stealing second. Before the next batter could finish batting Aaron scored the second run and tied the game...he stole a base with every pitch. The batter ended up getting caught to end the inning! I still can't believe I don't have my camera!!!
Top of the sixth and it's another quick inning as the first batter strikes out; the second hits in centre field and is safe on first; the third is caught at short and the fourth is caught at first.
Bottom of the sixth and the Diamondbacks send out the same defence. Our first batter hits and is safe on first; the second is caught in right field but 1 run is scored; the third gets a nice hit down left field and is safe on second; the fourth hits and is safe on first. Aaron comes up to us and asks - "did you guys see all my plays...mom has no camera tonight"! The fifth batter is up when a run is scored on a wild pitch, and the batter hits down left field and is safe on first, and another run is scored. The sixth batter hits and is safe on first; the seventh hits but is out at first and Aaron is up...yet again with 2 outs! He fouls 2 up in the air but they miss catching them and then he hits a nice one in centre field and it's caught. We got 3 more runs in this inning.
Top of the seventh and final chance for the Diamondbacks to try and get some runs. The first batter hits right towards the pitcher and he's out at first; the second hits and is safe on first; the third hits towards the pitcher and he throws to short to get the out at second but they couldn't get the double play and then the fourth batter is caught...by Aaron, ending the game!
