Another early Saturday morning down in Welland, Ontario. The boys had to be on the field for 9:00 a.m. but when we got there, the field was too wet play, so the game got delayed for an hour. The boys made the most of the situation...taking there practice to the parking lot.
Game 1
When the game got started, it was the Giants up to bat first. 3 up, 3 down and it was over with no runs!
Aaron heads to the mound for the bottom of the first. The first batter hits and our defense missed the catch! The second batter hits towards short and that is also missed by the defense, and the runner on base advances to third. The third batter strikes out; the fourth walks...and the bases are loaded! The fifth batter hits and is safe on first, but the runner is tagged out at home. The sixth batter hits and the runner should have been out at home, but there was an error at third and everyone is safe, with 1 run being scored. The final batter is out at first.

Top of the second, our first batter hits and is safe on first; the second strikes out; the third hits and is safe; the fourth hits and is safe...and we got back the run! Another run is scored on a wild pitch. The fifth and sixth batters both walk...and the bases are loaded. Aaron goes up and hits on a full count, but it is caught in right field, but another run is scored (RBI). The final batter gets caught.
Aaron is back on the mound and it was a scoreless inning with just 4 batters facing him.

| Back at it... |
The Giants didn't score in the third inning and BP only got one more run.
The boys didn't scored any more in the fourth either. Aaron popped up and got caught. It was another scoreless inning for BP in the bottom of the fourth. This time Aaron only faced 3 batters.
Each team scored 1 run in the fifth.
The Giants didn't get any more runs in the sixth. Aaron was replaced on the mound for the bottom of the sixth, and after changing our pitcher after just 4 batters, BP was able to add 2 more runs, and take the lead in the game.
The Giants couldn't score any more runs in the top of the seventh, and the game ended with a win for BP!
During what was supposed to be a short break for the boys to have some lunch, there was a situation between the coach and the management for the team. I wasn't sure what was going on but in the end, the team had no coach for Game 2.
After everything was somewhat sorted out, Game 2 began around 2:00 p.m. and it was a merciless game!!! The team got beaten badly and the game ended with a 14-1 score. It wasn't worth my effort to keep track! Aaron sat out the majority of this game and only covered short in the fourth inning.

I never get into politics of any kind but I hope this is sorted out soon. All I can say is WOW...you just never know!!!
