We won a league game 12-1 in a five inning mercy killing on Thursday night. We finally knocked the ball around the yard a bit. Nothing too exceptional here except our 9 run second inning which sort of put the game away. We're using a very soft ball for league games this year, which helps the pitchers. In 8 games we have just one homerun. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't hit any more the rest of the season--the balls are that mushy. But for the sake of competitive games and saving pitchers from wicked line drives, I fully support the ball choice. 1/3
In tournament play we use much harder balls. Last night we won our first game of the Plangger Invitational 4-0. We got an excellent pitching performance and played nearly perfect defense. They loaded the bases with no outs in the third, but we managed to get out of it unscathed. 1/3
We play today at "3:00"--the " " meaning it will likely be sometime after 3 due to long games earlier in the day or even a little rain.
