Close plays in Slo-Pitch

Wednesday, June 23 vs Waterloo MB 2
Nine players made it out to Wednesday's slo-pitch game against Waterloo MB 2. As it turned out, we got through the batting order exactly four times in the seven innings we played, so everyone (both last and first in the order) got an equal number of chances to hit.
We had six batters produce one run in the first, and also held WB (as they are known on the league schedule) scoreless in that inning. Mackenzie F made a beautiful catch in left to help that along, if I remember correctly. Dave F was the one-man battery for the second straight game, starting as pitcher and ending as catcher. When Steve M took over on the pitching rubber, Mackenzie came into cover second base for the first time in his career. The first batter hit one to him, and was retired 4-3.
A number of plays on the night were quite close. We almost caught a runner at home in a bang-bang play, I hit a liner down the first base line that was millimeters foul, and someone (sorry, I forget) was called out on a very close play at first base. In the end, we plated three runs, and despite some good defense, the score wasn't close.
Next week we play on Wednesday, June 30, 9 pm home vs Glencairn MB. You likely don't have to work the next day (Canada Day), so come on out to play. Bring fans! I am expecting Cal J, Scott A, Chris S, Steven M, Mark P, Nathan M. I know that Mark DH, Mackenzie, and Dave are out. Please let me know if you can come.
