Slo-Pitch Sweet Sixteen

Tuesday, May 25 vs Erb Street Mennonite Church
Tuesday night's warm weather warmed up our bats, too, even if we were missing the "girl's bat." We jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Mackenzie F got rbi hits in the second and fourth innings. Cal J managed to get out twice in the sixth inning, but that was a good thing. It meant that all ten batters hit that inning (plus Cal twice), and we scored seven runs in all. Adding on three in the 7th and two more in the 8th, we ended up with a sweet total of 16 runs scored in the game. That is definitely a high for the season so far.
We could use some reminders on base running, although we managed to recover from most of our mistakes. Using myself as an example, I was twice on second base when a fly ball was hit. Once, when there was one out, I ran quite hard, and was lucky it dropped. The other time, there were two outs, and I should have been going harder from contact. That time I might have scored when it was dropped in the outfield. btw, Erb Street ended up with more runs than us, but I am not sure how many.
Next week we play Wednesday, June 2, 7 pm at Diamond 'A', home vs Waterloo North. I am expecting Peter J, Cal J, Scott A, Dave F, Mackenzie F, Steven M, Nathan M, Mark P, and Chris S. I know that Mark DH cannot come. That is nine (assuming all stays the same), which makes room for a few more, yet. Please let me know if you can come or not.
Saturday (and Friday night) is the Mennonite Relief Sale in New Hamburg. Cal forgot to get his plug in after the game, so I thought I would here.
Have a great week, and try to keep cool.
