Out At Home

14U Blue Devils are now 8-3 and leading our summer league division with one game to go for us. Boys have really played well, and even 3 losses were within reach. We lost tonight 4-3 in a cloud shortened game, couldn't get last AB due to dark. Oh well. As I told boys, a year ago we lose tonight's game 9-3. Gotta be in it to win it.

Part of reason we lost is because other team threw us out at home at least 5x! Every time we had a runner at 3B with less than 2 outs was an adventure. In almost every opprtunity we hit a ground ball directly at a fielder. I have a simple philosophy. If it's hit to anyone but pitcher we go home hard.

We did score once or twice from 3B. One time, YSSS, with 2 strikes on him, shortened up and hit an F9 for an RBI Sac Fly. Coach on the other team was mighty impressed. Asked if YSSS was available to play fall ball.
