Tonight's game was another tough one for the Cardinals as
they fell behind early, rallied, but fell short in the end. It wasn't a big
inning that killed them in this game, but rather a run here or two there. The
disappointing end result was a 6-4 loss. The only consolation for the team
should be that it was a 6-0 deficit but they didn't give up and were able to
close the gap dramatically in the final two innings.
Tyler's contribution to the team tonight wasn't what we
hoped it would be. He went 0-2 from the plate, striking out both times. He swing
looked much better tonight for the most part, with one exception that stands out
in my mind (another golf swing). I just hope for his sake that he starts making
contact with the ball soon. Speaking of contact, he did attempt to bunt in his
second at bat, but it ended up going straight back for a foul ball. He told me
his coach told him to bunt, then after the game he was all upset because the
coach told Tyler he did the exact opposite of what he wanted him to do. I really
don't know what happened, but the bunt attempt was a decent one, so I have no
complaints.
