The good news from today's game is that the team pulled
out their first win of the season, an 8-4 victory over the Athletics. Tara and I
weren't thrilled, however, with the fact that Tyler only played 2 of the 6
innings. There were only 10 kids at the game tonight, so I saw no reason to sit
one kid for 2/3 of the game. Anyway, Tyler didn't see any action while in the
field during his short stint. In his three at-bats, he got walked three times
and had a couple of stolen bases. Although he was thrown out at home to end one
inning, he scored a run in a later inning.
