The 8th grade baseball team lost Saturday at Crocker Amazon Field, their first game in almost a month, due to scheduling and weather issues.
They had many of the usual errors, no pun intended, that a St. Mary's baseball team makes. Base running blunders, looking at the third strike, unable to field grounders, but there were many positives things to take away from Saturday's game.
Ryan, who started for the second straight game, pitched pretty well and had good control, not walking many and Fiona, who came on in relief did just enough to get some balls across the plate. Both worked two full innings.
Allen, who was making a special guest appearance with the 8th graders, caught a pop fly in center field an inning after Jackie made a nice catch in center.
Fiona started at second base and fielded two grounders and Alex played his best game in the field at first base before leaving for a dentist appointment.
At the plate, Auti picked up a infield single that scored Garrick for the first run of the game and the 8th grade actually led 1-0 after half an inning. Allen drove in a run later in the game when he popped one up high towards third base that landed in no man's land.
After stealing second base, Raymond was able to score on the bad throw by the other team's catcher that went into center field to round out the scoring.
In the bottom of the fourth, Ryan was heads up enough to cover second base, as Garrick fielded a grounder cleanly and flipped it to Ryan covering the bag for a force out, which was a nice textbook baseball play.
