Desis 13 - St. Timothy Lutherans 7

And what a win it was! And they qualify for the playoffs with this convincing win.

Lots of things went well tonite, good coaching from non-playing captain Amit, great third base coaching from Ranjeet, excellent hitting from Karen, Reshma, Leena, Appu, Tim, Sharath, Chethan, Ashok; and yes, Sapna got a hit, and scored a run. Solid pitching from Karthik, and good catching by Sumi behind the base. Chethan took a few outstanding catches in deep center field. And did I mention the running between the bases??

Karen has stepped up her level of play by a couple of notches, she looks very comfortable at first base, hits beyond the infield, and runs well. Leena did an awesome job at second base, and helped on the double play which won the game. Reshma is a power hitter now, and her practice sessions at the batting cages are paying off.

Chethan's inside the park home run helped the Desis' score 3 runs in the very first inning, and everyone in the lineup got on base during this inning. After being up 4-2 after the first inning, the Desis were leading 6-4, 7-4, and eventually won 13-7 at the end of four innings, after scoring 6 runs at the top of the 4th inning.

Good job everyone. Job well done. The Desis look like they are poised to eventually win the championship.

Special thanks to the excellent cheering support from Shamith, Rishon and Ria.
