Nice win

A little windy, but a nice day for baseball. Good win for the Indians. First off, great pitching by Andrew and Stacey. Andrew get the G-men off balance with a mix of fast and curve balls. And Stacey didn't throw hard, but really messed with the timing of the batters.

As for Stacey, he hadn't pitched this year, and I was going to give him an inning to see how he would do. And he did good, so I gave another inning. And so on. I had Josiah and Mickey warming up in the pen, but our defense did a good job of getting outs. That is how baseball should be played. They hit the ball, we field it, we get them out. And other than a few problematic errors, for the most part, we did that.

Andrew, Cody, Josiah, Spencer, and Jerald all caught some high pop ups. With that wind, they were no simple catches. Josiah's was probably the best, on a ball hit deep to center.

I'd still like to see more base hits. In 3 games this year, we only have 7 base hits. Jerald had two today, and Ben had 1. But to that, when the other team is walking you all the time, that is tough too. We got walked 15 times today. Aye carumba!

Andrew surrendered two in 3 innings of work, and Stacey walked 3 in 4 innings. Awesome! In this league, anytime you surrender less than a walk an inning, good things will happen for you, and they did.

Thing we need to improve on is watching me give signs, and doing what the signs are. Couple missed bunt and steal signs today.

But again, real happy with the effort. No practice on Sunday. Tentatively, we are going to play Wednesday at 6:30 at the East Diamond. Not 100% done deal tho. Stay tuned. Good job Indians!
