My First Baseball Game in the Majors!
Yesterday, I played my first game in the Major league of the Willington baseball league. We were playing Willimantic, and I was excited to play my first game in the majors. In the first inning, with Clark pitching, we shut out the Willimantic team. Then my team came up to bat, and we had a five-run first, thanks to some singles. Our last run scored while I was batting when the ball went past the catcher and Josh E. came home to score. With a full count, I struck out to end the inning. The next inning, Willimantic got a run back, but we scored another in that same inning, thanks to Max’s RBI groundout. In Clark’s last inning pitching he shutout Willimantic, and we scored yet another run and in this inning I struck out swinging. Max took over pitching and gave up three runs to make it 7-4. I wasn’t worried at the time, because I figured we could get one or two runs back, but we didn’t, so I started to get worried.
In the last inning, we allowed three runs and that tied the game. Up till this inning, I was playing outfield, and I switched to Second base, one of my favorite positions. It was the last inning, so we had to get the lead. The inning started off with two consecutive walks. While I was up to bat, the pitcher threw a ball past the catcher, allowing two men to steal. I walked and that got the bases loaded. Then Brett came up to bat. He hit the ball right in my direction and I leaped over the ball to avoid getting hit. This single sent home the game-winning run, leading to an 8-7 walk-off victory on opening night and we were all exuberant! After the coach talked to us, we got to go home with the great feeling of victory and the wanting for a win against our in-town rivals, Willington 1! It was a great feeling to win my first game in the majors!
