On May 19th<\/sup>, 2012, my team Willington 2 played Mansfield 2 at SE-A field.\u00a0 In the first inning, my team did not get on base at all.\u00a0 Mansfield unlike us got three runs across home plate to take an early 3-0 lead.\u00a0 One ball was hit into center field, but the center fielder let it drop in front of him even though he had plenty of time to get to it.\u00a0 Another time, the ball was hit down the third base line and I had to slide across to stop it from being a double.\u00a0 Another frustrating play was when Jason almost caught the ball but didn\u2019t, but still could have got the out if not for it being called a foul ball.\u00a0 When I came up to bat, there was one out in the second, and still no one on our team had gotten a hit.\u00a0 I hit the ball to third, and it should have just been a simple routine groundout for the other team, but I beat out the throw by a step for an infield single!\u00a0 However, nothing good came out of it though because the next two batters struckout swinging.\u00a0 Mansfield scored two more runs to take a 5-0 lead, but they almost scored more.\u00a0 On the third strike, the ball was dropped, and Austin threw the ball to first, but Joe wasn\u2019t ready since he had thought it was the third strike, so he dropped the ball.\u00a0 However, we got out of the inning.<\/p>\n

In the third inning, Mansfield scored another run to take a 6-0 lead.\u00a0 In the fourth inning, my team got men on second and third and I came up to bat and struckout, but the pitcher threw a ball past the catcher on the next batter, allowing Clark to score, cutting Mansfield\u2019s lead to 6-1.\u00a0 Unfortunately we did not score any more runs in the inning.\u00a0 In the bottom of the inning, Mansfield got the run right back to stretch their lead to six runs again.\u00a0 In the fifth inning, my team got the bases loaded, with no outs.\u00a0 Our batter John hit the ball down the line but the pitcher threw it home to get the forceout, and that brought me up to bat and once again I struckout swinging.\u00a0 However, our next batter walked with the bases full to force in a run to make the score 7-2.\u00a0 Our next batter struckout swinging, to end the inning with the bases loaded.\u00a0 In the bottom of the inning, Mansfield once again got the run back. In the sixth inning, my team had to make up six runs in one inning to tie the game.\u00a0 However, my team never even reached base, as all three of our batters.\u00a0 As a result we lost 8-2.\u00a0 My team\u2019s record is now 3-5, and I went 1-3 on the day for batting.\u00a0 My team is awesome at fielding, but most of my teammates have trouble making contact.\u00a0 If we could hit well, we would be unbeatable!\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
