Tied for first

So at this past Sunday's game, we learned that Faith Lutheran--the team which handed us our only loss--lost their game earlier in the day. A win on our part would put us in a tie with them at the top of the league. Our game was called after the top of the 5th inning, due to our 11-0 score over the opposition. I played all five innings, the first two at third, the remaining three behind the plate. I was much more comfortable on defense this game, and got in a good catch and a good throw to first during my two innings at third. Offensively, I was a wee bit off. Only at the plate twice, and the first time up I struck out looking. The second at-bat was a single, right up the middle, which advanced a runner. So in the past three games, I am now seven of eight at the plate. I'm really pleased with the way my hitting has picked up, and I'm convinced it's because I'm choking up on the bat more. I really need to get to the cages for some workout with the new grip. My season average slipped to .667, and lifetime dipped to .583. All games for this coming Sunday have been rescheduled, due to it being Mother's Day. This means our second-game showdown with Faith Lutheran will now be the last game of the season. Depending on what happens in two weeks, it could be the game for all the marbles of the spring season.
