Hello Everyone,
Let me start by saying I am crushed that LT has signed with the Jets. The fact that I am going to have to hear about it through the entire 2010 NFL season from My Father in Law is going to be very fun. NOT ! Anyway.....
We'll start on Thursday, 3/11. Nick had a game over in Lakeside. Thunder vs. LNLL Cardinals. Beautiful fields ! State of the art facility. Top of the line artificial turf. Wow ! Not a lot of action in this one. Thunder had to come back in the last inning to finish with a tie. Nick had a couple nice at bats. Only player to actually hit off the pitcher. Made some nice plays in the field too. Thunder 4 Cardinals 4.
Saturday Baseball 3/13. Thunder vs. The Rock Hounds. This was a good game. Thunder held the lead late before the Rock Hounds came back to tie. Very exciting. Nick had 2 at bats. His nerves got to him (again) the first at bat. Striking out on a bad pitch. Next at bat, he crushed a low pitch ! A towering bomb to center ! Big hit. Makes you wonder what's going to happen when he gets that perfect pitch. Oh yeah ! Anyway, so the game is tied in the last inning. Out comes Nick to pitch. NOOOO!!! He's warming up, not looking too good. First batter, he walks him, which means the coach comes out to lob meatballs for them to blast. The coach pitches the ball, the kid smashes the ball, Nick shoots over, fields the ball and throws the kid out !! 1 out. Next batter, Nick walks him. Kid smashes the ball. Nick fields it, but the kid is safe. Next pitch... passed ball, runner advances. By the way, the game is tied at this point. Next pitch... passed ball again, runner advances. Then, Nick pulls it together and throws 3 straight strikes ! 2 outs. Next batter, a 1 a 2 a 3, strikeout ! I was happy and confused !!! Woohoo ! Thunder 4 - Rick Hounds 4. We are now 1-0-2 on the season.
Sunday Softball 3/15. Kylie had a friendly in San Diego ! 15 minute drive instead of 90 minutes. Nice ! First game was against the San Diego Renegades. Kylie played RF. Our pitcher struggled badly first the first inning. 3 walks, 3 runs scored. The Renegades had a pitcher that threw very hard. Only had a straight fastball, but we could not hit her. We gave up one more run from a walk. 4-0 Renegades. We finally started hitting and started to come back. Ky had a great catch in RF. On the run in the gap. Nice ! Anyway, too little, too late Renegades 4 - Mystic 3.
Next up was So Cal Breakers. Kylie in the circle. This was a very good game for Mystic. Kylie pitched great ! Fastballs, curves, drops. It was was working for her. Also had a line drive shot to center for a hit. She gave up 1 run, struckout 5 in 6 innings. Mystic 8- Breakers 2. Nice !
Last game was against The Renegades (second team). Kylie sat this game. Mystic started off great. Hitting and fielding to a 3-1 lead. Then..... the wheels came off. 2 Huge errors by 1B. It was horrible. Very frustrating. It ended at 5-4 Renegades. So close, yet so far away. See you next week.
