Tyler's baseball team played one of their better games on
Thursday, June 17th, getting a 7-5 win against a Mets team that had just beaten
the first place Tigers two games in a row. Considering that we are in last
place, this win was no small feat. We got some good defense in the field after a
shaky first inning, and for the second game in a row the bats have really come
around. Tyler didn't collect a hit, but he also didn't strike out looking today.
His first at-bat resulted in a pop-fly out (I thought the 2nd basemen who caught
it was going to miss, but he just managed to cradle it in his glove). He second
at-bat was doomed by an early swing at a pitch over his head, which seemed to
happen to a lot of our players today. He managed a couple of foul balls, but
couldn't quite connect on the third strike. He didn't get a hit, but he did make
progress. Hopefully some work over the weekend will pay off for the end of the
season. Tyler played in center field today, and only had one ball hit to him. He
made the throw into the infield, but didn't have a chance to get anybody out.
Overall it was a good win for the boys, giving them something to build on for
next year.
