Tonight's game was infinitely more watchable than the last one. Even though they lost, the kids were much more focused on the game action and they flat-out just played better. If they keep improving, they will get a few more wins before this is all said and done. The game was pretty close until the last at bat for the bad guys, and the final score ended up being a 16-9 loss.

    As for Samantha - she had a pretty decent game. She struck out in her first at-bat, but got hits in the remainder of her chances. She fielded a couple of grounders while playing pitcher late in the game, and almost threw a batter out at first base. She did manage to throw home to get a runner out there, and she was mighty excited about that. I wish I could have been quicker with the camera and caught her reaction - arms up, jumping for joy. It was priceless.
