Cup Games

Saturday, June 7th we played a team from Jurich in a cup game. I'm not exactly sure as to how cup games work but they try to model it after soccer matches. The problem is, a 3rd division soccer team is still good and could possibly beat a first team. But for baseball here, a 3rd division team is like a junior high team. So can you now imagine a us playing against a 5th division team!! That's what we were up against. They had a horrible field with an extremely short fence. Unfortunately this games doesn't count at all towards our stats (hence I don't understand them) but we are required to play them anyways.

I think the final score was like 29-0 them...wait...I mean us! And guess what you know who did.....I hit a bomb! I was lucky, I will admit. As mentioned they have a short fence and on a full count I was out in front of a fast ball so I wasn't able to put a full swing on. Luckily for me, I hit it solidly and hit a hard line drive towards center field. As i was jogging to first, the centerfielder stopped with his back against the trees that lined the outfield. I thought for sure he was going to catch it...when all of a sudden he dropped his glove and watched the ball go over his head and hit the trees above him.

Not to be out done...Cy had 2 homeruns! Showoff! All in all...this game was a waste of time seeing as it took us almost 3 hours to get there and we played just one game. But none the less...it allowed me to hit a home run and now I can get back to playing baseball how I normally play it.
