Another tie.. Desis 10 - Westgate 10

Talk about improvment.. after losing to Westgate 0-13 in our season opener, we bounced back with a superb performance to tie the game 10-10. Trailing by four runs at the bottom of the last inning, we scored 4 runs in the final inning, before getting out with Leena at a scoring position.

Apurva's big hit into center field started a run fest, when 3 people scored in the first inning. Due to some slopping fielding, and some walks, we allowed Westgate a few more runs than they actually scored. Anjali started off as the pitcher, and Karthik came in a relief pitcher in the final inning to clean up the Westgaters.

Venu was in the batting lineup today as a designated hitter, as Shrisha was a no-show, and he got two base hits, and had a run in his debut. Chethan coached the team from outside due his fractured wrist. His parents showed up to support the team. Thanks uncle, and aunty.

Westgate doesnt have any big hitters, with none of their batters hitting deep. Strategy for the next game against Westgate could be:
* No deep fielders necessary, get in closer to cut-off the runs.
* Control the wild throws.
* Pitch consistantly, and get them to hit the ball.

Good job, Desis. We are a much improved team, and we can take the game to the Lutherans on friday.
