ThunderCats vs. Xtremes 6/4

So I was too disappointed to do a post Thursday after our game. Though we played our best game the other night, our efforts did not result in a win. We came so close to winning that we could all taste the sweetness of victory, but we got anxious and triumph slipped away from us. Here is a brief synopsis of how things went:

It was raining pretty much the whole game, but if anything the rain made us play better. The rain cooled us down and the clouds kept the sun out of our eyes. We were the visitors and we scored one point in the first inning and kept the Xtremes from scoring when they got up to bat. In the second inning we scored 4 more times and then again we kept them from scoring when they got up to bat, but we began to lose it in the third inning and the Xtremes scored 5 runs! In the 4th inning we scored 2 more times and kept the Xtremes at bay until the 6th inning when we psyched ourselves out and let them get 3 runs. The Xtremes won 8-7. I almost cried I was so disappointed.

Some of the highlights of our game the other night:

Justin had an amazing catch in center left. He dove for it and caught the ball 4 inches before it hit the ground! He was running so fast when he dove for it his momentum kept him rolling for a second but he held on to the ball and we got the most amazing out ever!!!

Ryan had 2 in the park home runs which were the reasons we got most of our runs.

The Fox’s had a great game. Chris was at Short and Carey was at 2nd. They facilitated a double play one inning and had back to back outs catching in field pop-flies.

All in all it was a bitter sweet game. We played well for the most part, but as usual the win wasn’t ours.
