Devin pitched 4 solid innings, giving up 3 earned runs while allowing only 2 hits. He recorded 5 strikeouts. Daniel threw one inning allowing one hit and completed the inning by feeding a ground ball to Jack who turned a sweet 1-5-2 double play...
At the plate... Well, we have not been swinging- so we did not expect much...but don't tell Vin.
Vinnie was 2 for 2 with a walk, Jordan was 1 for 2 with a run scored.
Everyone else was 0-16 with 7 walks and 10 strikeouts... Glad we had some DEEE.
I have to send some love to Roman as he caught a solid game, was drilled in the face with a fastball and not only shook it off, but he took his base and stayed in the game. The next morning (his next at-bat) he drove the fourth pitch over the left fielder's head. I can't begin tell you how wonderful this is. If you don't know, if a kid gets hit in the face with a pitch- many times it will end any aspirations of playing baseball again; not because of the physical damage, but because of the psychological effect. Most kids would have a really tough time just getting back in the box....
Atta Boy, Rome.
