Vs. Bonn

Sunday April 27, we played against a team from Bonn. Supposedly they were a young team but very promising. They supposedly had a pitcher who threw in the low 90's and plays for the German National team. I guess luckily for us, he broke his hand a couple weeks ago so they had almost no pitching. The first game the threw a slow right handed pitcher and we pretty much struggled because he was so slow for the first two innings - but then we exploded! My first AB, I made sure to hit the ball deep so that I wouldn't be out in front. Unfortunately I took a horrible swing at the ball and grounded out to short. Next AB, making sure I was ready with a good swing, swung to early this time and now I was out in front! I lined out to short. Ok....make the adjustment Gavin. Next AB I was ready. I worked the count to 3-2 and he came at me with a fast ball. WellI hit me a double to Left center. Then I stole my first base of the year, and later scored on a sac fly. I finished off the game hitting 1-4 and we ended up winning 14-2..

The second game Bonn thew a guy from the Dominican Republic. He had good speed with his fastball and had a hard slider but it really didn't break that much. I had much better AB's this game but didn't really get rewarded. I worked the count deep in my first AB and hit a hard groundball to second. They tried to turn a double play on me but what they didn't know is that I only hit into 3 double plays....in my life. sure enough I beat it out. The Dominican didn't make it past the 3 inning and they brought in a relieve who threw in the first game. At the time the score was still 5-1 so i decided to drop a bunt down with a runner on first and no outs. I dropped a perfect bunt down the third baseline and got a hit out of it. Sure enough the rest of the team followed suit and we exploded in this game as well. I finished off hitting 1-3 with a walk, and we won 9-2.

Cy ended up pretty well to if I'm not mistaken. He was pounding ball after ball to deep center field unfortunately we have a big field and some of his balls were caught. But I believe he had three hits for sure. Our next game will be thursday against the defending division champs. Wish us luck!
