Today's game was one of the most exciting games I have
seen in a long time. Despite some questionable moves (I'd call it borderline
cheating, but that's just me - batting out of order, stealing bases early,
etc.), the Dodgers managed to hold on for a tie in a 9-9 ball game. Drew made
some nice plays, both in the field and at the plate today, as did several of his
teammates. They did a great job catching fly balls today, even surprising
themselves in the process. Drew managed to throw a runner out at first base
while playing second, and he got a single that he might have been able to
stretch into a double, so he did his part today. Despite not winning, it was a
great job all around today!
