Run for cover.

Posted June 18, 2021


Run for cover.

Um, well...it started well enough, Jayde took the ball and got two quick outs...then it got worse.  Jayde looked great to start off the night, but quickly lost his command and gave up 5 runs in the first.  Initially phased, the boys stepped up and hit a few lasers off of one of the best pitchers around, Tyrell King of the Dbacks...but it would prove to be for naught as a combination of pitchers would proceed to walk 13 and hit 3 diamondback hitters.  To their credit, when we did throw a strike, it was hit very hard and oftern out of the park.  This was a rare night when the wind was blowing out, but it made absolutely no difference, these were bombs that were way out of the yard.  Good on them really!

There were a few highlights:

-Stebs rocking a triple

-Jake going in and throwing some strikes with no bullpens to speak of. 

-Jayde brought a nice ipad to keep score on

-Good showing at Beckhams, though the pizza was overcooked...new staff, it's a learning process.

Got a pair against the same loaded Dbacks squad on Sunday afternoon.  We'll try and throw a handful more strikes.
