Aleen and Michael’s Blog

We had our 4th baseball game of the season last night.  We played very well again defensively and this time got a bit more offence in our 9-4 win.  I didn’t bat as well this time going 2-4.  I also hit our pitcher with one of my hits, which is an automatic out.  Luckily, it was low and he got his glove in the way to dampen it, but I still felt bad.  After that I tried more to place it rather than cranking it.

Out in the field I only had to catch a ball once, since most of their line-up were righties not many were hit in my direction.  The game flew by in under an hour.  Aleen did well again too.  Our girls so far have been much better than any of the other teams, which is helping out greatly.  They can hit and field quite well.  So now we are in first again with a 3-1 record.

After two forfeits, one for and one against, we finally played our first game of the baseball season.  We took our 1-1 record to the field and managed to pull off a 6-2 win.  Playing baseball for the first time since like grade school, it was actually kind of fun.  I played right field and caught a couple for outs.  I also went 3 for 3 at the place and drove in a run, so it went pretty well.  Still think I can hit better though.

Even more surprising was Aleen.  She did really well in the outfield managing to field a few balls without any trouble.  She did well at the plate too making good contact with all the balls and getting on base every time except once.  I was impressed.  We look forward to next week.
