Wait for the Open Inning in Slo-Pitch

Tuesday, July 6 vs Waterloo MB
Tuesday night was a night of waiting. To begin, our eigth and ninth players hit every red light on the way to the game, arriving about 7:05 pm. Then we decided to wait a few innings to get our offense going. We got a number of base runners in even in the early innings, but just couldn't bring them in. Cal J even hit to the opposite field for a single, perhaps for the first time this season. We did plate a few, but waited for the seventh or eighth inning (one of the "open innings" with no mercy rule limiting us to eight runs) to break out. We sent ten men to the plate, with Dave Frey coming through with the big hit, a two-run double that went all the way to the right-centre field fence. We scored four of our seven runs in that inning.
Next week we play Tuesday, July 13, 7 pm on Diamond 'A', visitors against Bloomingdale. I am expecting Peter J, Nathan M, Mark P (who confirmed on Facebook)
Jonathan B, Dave F, Sal U, and Cal J. Steven M is on the disabled list, and Mackenzie F is at camp.
I am gone the next four weeks for vacation, and will be back for the August 11 game. Please check the schedules that you have on paper, or on the team blog site (http://www.firstslopitch.blogspot.com/) or on the league website http://www.kwmennoniteslopitch.com/
