Saturday Baseball

The Cardinals won today's rematch with the Mets 15-12 who had defeated us earlier in the season. Kelly was 3-4 with a double and two RBI's. In both the first and second inning she came to bat with runners in scoring position and two outs, and each time she delivered: a single and a double. She struck out in her third at bat after smashing several line drives foul down the third base line. Her fourth at bat came in the bottom of the fifth, with the game very tight. She drove the ball into the outfield and scored two batters later.

She made two fantastic plays at second base and had three force outs at second. She was awarded her third game ball of the season, this time by one of her teammates (the coaches award two and a player awards one each game).

With the victory, the Cardinals finished the season 8-3 and it looks like we'll have a very good seed for the tournament which starts Wednesday. I'm very proud of my boys - and my girl - and for the first time I'm nervous and excited about a sport besides soccer.

Good for her! Makes me wish my kids were old enough for baseball this year. Then again, there's still plenty of time-- I'll be patient.

  • The hardest part about gaining any new idea is sweeping out the false idea occupying that niche. As long as that niche is occupied, evidence and proof and logical demonstration get nowhere.
