Going in to tonight's game Drew and his Holly Grey teammates
knew that they were in for a battle, as they faced off against the
first place Holly Blue team. Unfortunately things went pretty much
as expected. Holly Grey came out strong in the first, scoring three
runs on the strength of strong base running (and an error) that
resulted in a homerun, and a double for Drew that drove in two runs.
The pitching struggled in the first, however, as they went on to
give up 5 runs, mostly due to walks and misplays. The second inning
wasn't as good for the Grey team, as they were kept off the bases
with three quick outs. The Blue team scored two quick runs in their
half of the inning, but a triple play (A TRIPLE PLAY!) by the Holly
Grey team ended the inning in a heartbeat. Heading into the third
down 7-3, the Grey team was determined to come back. They narrowed
the gap with three runs of their own, but went on to give up three
runs in the bottom of the inning, giving up what they had just
earned. The fourth inning was a duplicate of the third score-wise,
as the Blue team expanded their lead further. Going into the fifth
inning, the Grey players knew this was going to be their final
chance to make a game of it. They weren't able to do so, however,
going down quietly to seal the 13-7 loss. One game remaining after
today - let's make it a good one Grey! |
