Another week, another four games. And we're still 0-fer. For those of you keeping track, that now puts the boys atop a big '0-8' for the season. Well, technically speaking, the two games Paxton's team dropped last weekend were pre-season tourney games. So... just like that, it's ALREADY a brighter picture. Thus far, the KelleyBoys are '0-6' to open the season.
Griffin, DAA Dodgers vs. Delhi Eagles - these guys have their work cut-out for them. They're in the first year of 'kid pitch', and the learning curve appears to be ever-looming. Griffin had a great day behind the plate. 'Nuff said.
Paxton, DAA Rockets vs. Mack Highlanders - Still trying to figure out what happened with this one (well, i was there, and I KNOW what happened...) This game was knotted-up 5-all until the fourth inning. And then the wheels fell-off. Pitching got a little rocky, many (many many many) runs were walked across the plate. Next thing you know, it was over. Paxton was terrific at 2nd Base today.
Duncan, Cincinnati Heat vs. Covedale Storm - this has become an excellent rivalry over the past couple years. The two teams pretty much alternate every outing. Unfortunately today was Covedale's turn. In a tightly contested 3-1 game... Duncan had a couple outstanding plays out in Left Field... including one phenomenal run-saving catch.
Holden, DAA Highlanders vs. Bridgetown Sparks - another real 'head-scratcher'. This one was all tied-up (1-all) after three innings. Then it was 3-all. And then, in the final inning, the Sparks went up 6-3. Holden's team couldn't manufacture 3 runs in their final at bat.
All in all... the boys each did very well today. And once again, the weather was outstanding (so who can complain?). We're ALWAYS about having fun and improving when it comes to sports around here. Typically (as will be the case this season, I'm sure), the wins have a way of coming,
