We have now played eight regular-season games, plus one exhibition game. There are eight more regular-season games left, plus five or six play-off games. Since next week is the league's mid-season break (sorry, no all-star game in this league), let's call this half-way.
Tonight was a beautiful if hot night for a baseball. Erb Street came out swinging, scoring seven runs in the first to set the tone. We did, however, hold them scoreless in the second, seventh, eighth, and ninth innings. Sal made a nice catch in foul territory on a ball many of us thought was going out of play, which was part of a three-up three-down inning for our defence. Sal also had one of the big hits of the night, a single that went all the way to the centre field wall. Mark Peters also had a long double in the seventh, and with smart and agressive baserunning, later scored our first run of the night. Cal Jutzi, who was three for three on the night, scored the second run the next inning. Peter Jutzi also reached base in each of his three at-bats, including a double in the eighth that cashed in Cal.
Next week there is no game, since Canada Day falls on the Wednesday. Our next game is Tuesday, July 7, 7 pm on Diamond A, home vs Westheights BIC. I am expecting Cam J, Cal J, Scott A, Dave F, Mackenzie F, Peter J, Sal U, Nathan M, and Tracy K. I know that Mark DH is gone until early August. Anyone else coming, let me know by email or facebook, or even in person!
Practice: Since there is no game, let's have a practice and/or game of scrub on Tuesday night next week (June 30). Purely for my own convenience, let's meet at Sheppard School (Borden & Weber Sts, near the Kitchener Aud) at 7 pm. Let me know if you can make that. You can bring friends, too. If not enough people reply, I'll send an email Monday cancelling it.
Enjoy summer, and have a good week or two!
