Hannover #2

Hannover was the first team that me and Cy were allowed to play against - this was the game where i almost took one out. well...I almost had another home run in this game. This time it would have been an in the park home run. I hit a missile to the left center game and was hauling ass around the bases...and go held up at third. After I slowed down to look at the ball I noticed that the shortstop was pretty much in left field just getting the ball. I look right at my coach and he said he didn't want to risk it. I told him that there was no risk...I would've been safe! Ohh well. all in all i had a good day. the first game I was 2-3...the one time I got out I hit a shot to the second baseman and it hit his glove so I got on via an error. Had he missed it, it probably would have rolled in the gap and I might have had an in the park homerun. Our pitcher ended up throwing a no hitter and we ended up winning 13-0. I was 2-3 with a HBP

the second game was much closer for some reason. Actually, it wasn't really close, but just closer. We scored 3 in the first inning but that was it for a while. In the end, we had won the game by a score of 7-0. I was 2-4 in this game.

These games today were particular tough on us...more mentally than anything else. It was sunny, but there was a weird glare over all of padreborn, but it was still hot like an Oven. It was very draining on our bodies to be in sun like that, and on top of that, we are expect to perform....perform at our best when we don't have to and will still win!
