We got to a late start to this game, but we eventually got the game started and made it 3 1/2 innings. Our hitting started off well, scoring 3 runs in the first inning but then slowed down in the second. We were on a roll in the fourth inning, scoring 2 runs with 2 on and no outs, but the game was called due to the next game needing to take the field. Another loss unfortunately but we had some great fielding by Lisa and Kip made some good plays in the outfield.

July 23rd, 2008 - Google vs Sluggers
Another windy game causing our pitchers to struggle to hit the strike zone target. Also frustrating was the fact that for being called "Sluggers" the other team didn't want to hit. Thanks to Kip and Chavez for hanging in there on the pitching and the rest of the team for not falling asleep.
When the Sluggers did hit we had a couple of good catches in the outfield by Tyler and I stopped and hard hit coming near first and threw to Liz for an out. I think our fielding this year has definitely improved.
We had enough women to play with Christie back and Yvonne. For a few minutes, I thought we'd actually not have enough guys.
Our official photographer was on vacation so no photos from this game.

We went from a surplus of women two games ago to a dearth of them for this game, which led to us having to forfeit this game. Injuries and some late season flu have reduced our rost of available female team members.
We did play out the game though as a scrimmage. Our fielding continued to be good, Kip getting several good plays--catching pop flys, throw outs at first and a smart play of tagging a runner out at 2nd. Tim, Tyler and Chavez made some nice pop fly catches. Our catcher Denise made an out by catching a pop foul using a right-handed glove (she's left handed).
Update on Shaun, which in the last game had met up with the back fence chasing a fly ball. Looks like at least a very bad sprain with some greenstick fractures to a couple of bones.

July 9th, 2008 - Gorge Urology vs Google
On a hot and blustry late afternoon, Google faced the Gorge Urology team. We started the game short 1 women, but we snagged Denise Tweet out of the bleachers part way thru the game to help us out.
First inning we started out a bit shaky, letting them get 3 runs. We replied with 1 run. Second inning they scored 4 more runs against us and we were pretty much 3 up 3 down. Starting in the 3rd inning we kept Gorge Urology scoreless for the next 4 innings with some good fielding and pitching. Tim got at least 3 strikeouts. Heidi snagged a fly ball for an out in center field. And we kept hits to just singles. Hitting wise we scored 3 runs in the 3rd inning, 2 in the 5, and tied things up in the 7th win 1 run.
We had a chance to win going into the 7th but got a bit nervous and rushed a couple of plays that allowed for some runs to get on and then get home. We responded with 1 run but in the end the score was 12 to 8.
We started off playing with only 9 players so we were taking an out for having 2 guys bat back to back. Denise Tweet came in from the bleachers to help us out. Also, Shaun was chasing a deep fly ball near the home run fence and it "attacked him." No major cuts but it looks like at least a bad sprain.

July 2nd, 2008 - Bobby's Team vs Google
We won!! Yup have now doubled the number of wins compared to last season. I thought we might be short on the number of women needed due to injuries, but we actually ended up with seven. Thanks to Justin's connections.
Our hitting improved since last game. Chavez dropped several hits into the empty spots in center field. Tyler continued to hit well and Martha solidly hit. Even the coach got some hits in, leading by example...of what not to do--hitting short infield grounders that were easy outs at first.
Fielding was also better. Kip dug a popup out. Martha snagged a pop to center field. Heidi grabbed a line drive at 3rd. We even got a couple double-plays in. We even got a strike out.
Unfortunately all of that didn't matter as we had already won due to the other team's forfeit for not having enough people. We shared some of our players and the ump stayed on and we had a practice game.
