Game 1

Jayden's Mega Coney Island baseball team took to the field for their first game of the season tonight, facing off against the team from Wilkinson Auto Repair. One unusual aspect about Jay's team is that all of her teammates are girls! As far as I know this is the only all girls baseball team in Holly Little League! With that being said, my expectations for this team started out on the low side. Unfortunately tonight's game only reinforces that notion, as they struggled in all aspects of the game. Jay played SS, 2nd base, and left-center (they use 4 outfielders at this age group) in the field tonight. She batted three times, striking out twice and belting a single before eventually coming around to score one of her teams 2 runs. While her team struggled, the opposition seemed to be firing on all cylinders as they had a 14 run scoring outburst, leading to a 14-2 victory over the Mega girls team.
