It was a warm sunny day in the new park and with the wind blowing from third to right field, our resident lefty Nathan was hoping for a good day. The Beave is a hard packed dirt infield and a grassy outfield. Because we did not have the cones we drew lines in the dirt to mark the foul line and single using the grass as a double with no hits above that. Eddie and Sarah started off getting a run early, but nothing else for several innings as good fielding was the theme for the middle innings. By the fourth some inconsistent pitching played a part in the 2-1 lead for Ed and Sarah with not much happening in the hit department. In the seventh Ed worked Alex for a couple runs making the score 5-1 with one at bat left for Nathan/Alex. Control problems again reared its ugly head and a couple runs made it 5-3 with the last batter Nathan coming to the plate. He proceeded to smack a double with the bases loaded to tie the game before grounding out to end the game. Final 5-5 in a long game at "The Beave". Pictures next week.

Hoping Sarah is okay after pulling something in her leg on the final pitch of the game.
