Tuesday afternoon threatened rain and thunder, but by game time it was back to hot and sunny, actually a nice night for a ball game. Eleven of us thought so, anyway.
We were visiting against Waterloo MB 2, and jumped out to a 2-run lead in the top of the first inning. Even better, our defence was quite strong, and held them scoreless for, I believe, the first 3 innings at least. Throughout the game Mark DH twice started 3rd-to-home double plays to get us out of innings. And Dave W had more great running catches in the outfield to prevent harm from their well-hit balls. And for the record, in one of the later innings, I noticed that our female players accounted for all of the put-outs: Angie caught two throws to force runners at second, and Bethany ended the inning by nabbing a foul tip.
Later in the game, WMB 2 did get some runners across. We had base runners most innings, even bases loaded a few times, but couldn't quite cash them in. The game progressed so quickly that we played an extra inning just for fun, and we were still done by 8:30 pm.
