We won our game tonight 22-5. Four of the five runs the other team scored came in the last inning when we let a kid pitch who pitched a few times earlier in the season and was awful. He kept asking our head coach if he could have another chance, so with a 22-1 lead we put him in tonight. He said he'd been practicing and that he wouldn't walk a bunch of kids.
He faced seven batters. Walked six of them. Threw 24 balls and five strikes. The only batter that didn't walk was a kid who has no athletic ability or baseball know-how who stood at the plate and half-swung at three straight bad pitches... so the numbers are actually skewed in favor of our pitcher. If that batter had any sense, the numbers would have been 7 batters, 7 walks, 28 balls and two strikes.
Anyway, having entered the inning ahead by 21 runs, we still managed to eke out the win.
Saturday is the last game of our season. We are facing the Grizzlies -- the best team in the league who we beat to begin our win streak. They'll be out for revenge.
I'll be done posting about the baseball team soon (for those of you who hate them).
