Based on his team's first place standing on the strength
of their 9-2-1 record (officially it was 9-3, but I still contend that one of
their losses was a tie, which is the way that I score it), Drew's baseball team
earned a bye during the first round of the playoffs. This meant that his playoff
season started in round two, and he and his teammates came out strong. They
jumped out to a big lead, and were it not for a few relatively meaningless runs
scored late in the game (and the opposing team couldn't score enough to win the
game anyway) it would have been a total blowout. Drew had his best game of the
year offensively, going 2-2 from the plate, including his first double of the
year in his first at-bat of the day. I guess the time he spent in the batting
cage prior to the game really paid off! With his help, the Ramsey Built
Construction team sailed into the championship game later tonight with an 8-4
victory!
