Desis 9 - St. Timothys Lutheran 12

Game 8: Sep 15th. Mise Park, San Jose. 7pm.

The roster was a full house - aka 11 people. I had to sit out to babysit Rishon.

Line Up:

Sammy - CA
Dumma - 1B
Leena - 2B
Amit - SS
Shrisha - 3B
Anjali - SP
VenuJ - LF
PreethiS - LCF
Robert - RCF
DJ - RF

We started off well in the first inning with good momentum, getting quick outs and being sharp on the field. The hitting was consistent too, with almost everyone getting a hit of some sort.
We were leading 7-2 at the bottom of the second.

Looks like our lineup is good only for 2 innings. The third inning performance was somewhat poor by us. St. Timothys scored 3 more to make the score 7-5. We couldnt put any runs the 3rd inning.

We went into the 4th with St Timothy's hitting. We just had to hold them to win the game.
But they just went beserk with thier hitting. No big hits, but consistent hitting out of the infield but way short for anyone on the outfield. Before we realised, they had 7 more runs.
7-12 the score, when we went to bat for the last inning. Too much pressure, just put on 2 more runs.

One notable thing, was we are constantly evolving as a team and last friday, we played the best of our games with more confidence, consistency and discipline. But that wasnt good enough for a win.

We need consistency in both hitting and fielding, and cant have sweet spots in the line up.
Anjali's recommendation is for us to go to the batting cages this wednesday. We need to firm up that.

Next week, its Hi-tech. Lets prepare...
