Tyler's baseball team was supposed to play a consolation
game on Monday, June 28th, against the third place team for the season, the
Mets. Unfortunately we were left a little shorthanded, as some of the players
who said that they would be at the game didn't show up. That left us with only
seven players, while the other team had only the required nine. Both coaches
agreed to just play a scrimmage, with the Mets giving up one of their players to
make it an 8 on 8 game. Both teams tried a lot of things that they normally
wouldn't do during a regular game, such as stealing home on some throws and
giving kids a chance to pitch for the first time this season. As usual, Tyler
went hitless today, although he did wind up with a walk in his first at bat.
Nobody kept score, and they only played a couple of innings, but all of the kids
had a blast playing!
