The fifth place Uncle Ray's Rays faced off against the 4th place A's tonight in the first game of the playoffs. Samantha and her teammates got off to a good start, leading 2-0 after the first inning in part thanks to a base hit that she had. She played the entire game in the field at second base tonight, helping get two outs - one on a fielded ball that she threw to first to get out the runner and another where she tagged the runner out as he headed to second base. She also scored a run in the second inning after being walked, which she did in her next two at-bats as well, before striking out in her final at-bat of the game. The Rays expanded their lead to 7-0 at one point before the A's started to get things going. Thankfully it was too little, too late by that point, and the Rays managed to hold on for an 11-7 victory! On to Game #2! Great job Rays!
