Despite the overall win-loss record, tonight's game was
proof that the Cardinals are an improving team. To lose a game in which only
four runs were given up is heartbreaking, though. Both teams fielded extremely
well tonight, but they just couldn't gather up much steam against their
pitchers. It seemed as though whenever Tyler's team was about to make a rally it
was cut short by an inopportune strikeout. Hopefully their bats will come around
soon. Tyler managed to get on base thanks to a walk, and stole a couple of bases
to get himself over to third, but the dreaded strikeout left him stranded there.
He also struck out once, and he didn't have to field any balls while playing in
right for most of the game. The bad news is that despite playing their best
defensive baseball of the season, they lost the game 4-1.
