Sean’s Team Finally Wins One!!!
April 23, 2009
Sean’s team finally won a game last night. They had a combination of good pitching and smart fielding to pull out a decisive 5 to 1 victory.
Sean injured his big toe on Sunday night by stepping on a bamboo barbecue skewer and tearing off part of the callus. It is healing, but caused him enough pain that he couldn’t catch. He play outfield for part of the game. He spent the second half of the game cheering on his teammates from the dug-out. They rotate the outfielders so that all team members get to play. He’s looking forward to playing a more key roll in the next game as the toe should be healed by then. Lets hope he has an opportunity to contribute more to a future win this season.
Baseball Struggles Continue
April 19, 2009
Sean’s baseball team struggles continue with another loss. At least they are getting better each game and closer too. This time, the went down to defeat by a score of 10 – 7. The good new is that at one point in the game, they were actually leading 7 – 6. But once again, a change in pitchers doomed them as the other team was able to successful hit the new pitcher.
This was actually quite a miserable game to be at. The temperature was hovering around 50 degrees with sustained winds of 20 – 30 mph with bigger gusts. Can you say cold? Well, at least for us Arizonans where the temp last week was in the 90′s.
Sean caught the whole game and did pretty good. He went 0 – 3 at the plate with three ground outs – two of them well hit. I need to work with him some more on a more level swing as he tends to swing down on the ball. He makes good contact and hits the ball sharply, but usually on the ground.
Two more games next week as the season continues. There is even some talk of adding a Saturday game or two so our schedule stays busy!
