The 8th grade baseball team went up early by a score of 6-1, but the defense unraveled late and they ended up losing by a final score of 12-7.
David added to his fine season and had a 3 run homer which at the time staked the 8th graders out to a five run cushion after the second inning.
But again, it was the defense and the errors which caused the team to unravel. Any time the ball is put in play, the team cannot consistently field, and they wounded up beating themselves.
Simple things like the dropped third strike absolutely haunted them again.
Offensively, you can't complain at all as they put seven runs across the plate, a season high. But without the defense, it's just an ugly game that could've been something special.
It was a very makeshift like game as there were no bases or umpire. Both teams were forced to use glove as bases.
Despite the poor defense overall, Jeremy and Justin converted on a double play late in the game, Jeremy catching a pop fly, then doubling off a runner from third.
Their final game of the regular season is Saturday morning.
Thanks to Justin who contributed to this report.
