The boys came back from a 7-1 deficit to beat the Iron Pigs 15-13 last night in what was the sloppiest baseball game in a long time. The Bulls were the the Bad News Bears for the first couple innings with everyone on the team missing tags, dropping balls and making ill advised throws. Dylan and Sam lead the pack with some bad plays but at the same time, they had a couple of nice plays. Dylan struck out once and walked twice, Sam had a single and walked twice. Sam also had a three strike out pitching performance in the the last inning which preserved a 1 run deficit going into our last at bat.
With the game tied in the bottom of the inning with two outs and Dylan on third, Brock hit a walk off home run to take sole possession of first place in the Pioneer Minors division. The good news of this sloppy game was that the kids didn't give up being down 7-1, then 9-5, then 13-12 with three outs to go. They kept battling back and while the errors were many, the Iron Pigs had a few of their own.
No baseball or soccer games this weekend and a welcome reprieve from cringing in the stands.
