We had our second double header of the season last night. I felt sluggish all day, and several teammates expressed the same feeling as well before the game (long work days, illness, lack of sleep, etc.). Well we certainly didn’t play like a tired team last night.
It was crazy, just how many runs we scored. 27 in the first game and I lost count in the second game. Both teams we faced brought in some altered lineups. I really think our consistant roster is really starting to pay off. We all know each other very well, and that results in a better fielding team.
I still have to work on catching the ball. Playing shallow shortstop I had way too many drops, yet I consistently can throw runners out at second. So yeah, I can make the tougher play but cannot make what should be the automatic catch. I’m weird, I know.
Geoff and Sean both had home runs, which was really great to see. Geoff even kicked for the cycle in the first game! We also got numerous big kicks with two outs to score many runs.
The last two or three innings of the later game against Jake’s was getting pretty dark. I felt bad for our outfielders trying to navigate out there in all the darkness. They never complained and got our outs when necessary.
Everybody got a chance to contribute on offense in a major way at some point last night, it was great for all.
I’m so proud of my team and how we’ve played all season. It felt great that we could win both our games last night.
