States...Game #1...8U Blue 21 Washington 3

Our team was sporting their pink West Raleigh All-Star uniforms on opening night of the 2012 8U Eastern NC State Championships. The tournament started at 2pm with games at 2pm, 4pm and 6pm. We were in the 6pm group against Washington. There was a thunderstorm delay, so first pitch for our game was at 7:40pm! A bit behind on the first night, but at least our team was able to play. We won in 4 innings...21-3.

Here's how we looked DEFENSIVELY...

1st inning:
Luke (third) to Lawson (second) for out #1
Double play...Chris caught a fly ball at pitcher and then threw the ball to Ian (first) since the runner couldn't get back in time to tag up! Great work Chris and Ian!

2nd inning:
Isaac (catcher) to Ian (first) after a bunt attempt for outs 1 and 2
Luke (third) to Ian (first) for the last out

3rd inning:
Kaden had an unbelieveable catch! Playing shortstop...he dove towards second base and slid while stopping the ball...Kaden jumped up and threw the ball to Ian at first base for the out. A-maz-ing!
Lukas caught a beautiful fly ball at right centerfield for the second out.
Kaden (shortstop) had an unassisted play at second base for the last out.

4th inning:
A double play to start the inning...Lawson caught a line drive at second, then threw the ball to Ian (at first) since the runner couldn't get back to first in time! Great work Lawson and Ian!
Mike (pitcher) to Ian (first) for the last out.

Now for the OFFENSE...

Kaden: 4-4 with a double and 1 RBI
Lawson: 4-4 with 3 RBI
Lukas: 1-4 with 1 RBI
Luke: 2-4 with a double and 3 RBI
Riley: 3-3 with 2 triples, 1 double and 3 RBI
Isaac: 3-4 with 3 RBI
Ian: 3-3 with a triple, double and 2 RBI
Chris: 1-2 with a double and 1 RBI
Mike: 1-1 with 1 RBI
Ben: 1-3 with a double and 2 RBI
Jackson: 1-2
Charley: 1-1 with a double
