Yesterday, I played my first game in the Major league of the Willington baseball league.\u00a0 We were playing Willimantic, and I was excited to play my first game in the majors.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Our last run scored while I was batting when the ball went past the catcher and Josh E. came home to score.\u00a0 With a full count, I struck out to end the inning.\u00a0 The next inning, Willimantic got a run back, but we scored another in that same inning, thanks to Max\u2019s RBI groundout.\u00a0 In Clark\u2019s last inning pitching he shutout Willimantic, and we scored yet another run and in this inning I struck out swinging.\u00a0 Max took over pitching and gave up three runs to make it 7-4.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t worried at the time, because I figured we could get one or two runs back, but we didn\u2019t, so I started to get worried.<\/p>\n
In the last inning, we allowed three runs and that tied the game.\u00a0 Up till this inning, I was playing outfield, and I switched to Second base, one of my favorite positions.\u00a0 It was the last inning, so we had to get the lead.\u00a0 The inning started off with two consecutive walks.\u00a0 While I was up to bat, the pitcher threw a ball past the catcher, allowing two men to steal.\u00a0 I walked and that got the bases loaded.\u00a0 Then Brett came up to bat.\u00a0 He hit the ball right in my direction and I leaped over the ball to avoid getting hit.\u00a0 This single sent home the game-winning run, leading to an 8-7 walk-off victory on opening night and we were all exuberant!\u00a0 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!\u00a0 It was a great feeling to win my first game in the majors!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
