A Nail Biter!

Today my baseball team, the Streetsboro Rockets, played a nail-biter game against the Tsunami (from Oakwood).  We were down 5-4 in the bottom of the last inning, when Ty A. singled and after Dominic C. ground out, our first baseman Liam S. singled. After a double steal that put runners at second and third with one out, catcher Brandon "BP" smashed a two-strike pitch into the gap in between center and right field. Two runs scored. We all went crazy. Final score 6-5, Rockets win.

Red Hot Sox

The Boston Red Sox have scored 28 runs in their last two games, while allowing only 3 runs. They beat the Indians (boo!) 14-2 on Wednesday and the Tigers 14-1 on Thursday.

Second Baseman Pitches

Yesterday the Philadelphia Phillies and the Cincinnati Reds played a marathon-like game lasting 19 innings. The Phillies ran out of pitchers so they pitched their second baseman! Now, being an infielder myself, I just about gave up hope of pitching on my 5th grade baseball team. This game gave me new hope!

Long time, no see!

This past Sunday the Boston Red Sox finished a 3-game series against the Chicago Cubs in Boston. It was the first time the Cubs have played Boston in Fenway Park since 1918 - that's 93 years! They both sported the uniforms they wore in 1918.
