Games 07 and 08

Game 07: L 9-14
2-4: (on base), started out rough with two infield pop flies but rebounded to get a single and a walk.
3rd Base

Game 08: L 8-15
2-3: Single, Triple, took the out by not running after hit went up the middle catching the ankles of the pitcher
3rd Base

Overall, I would call it a quality outing at 3rd

Good:

  • Hit a good triple that went over the head of RCF (outfielder was called in after previous hit was a shallow line drive); I have been trying to remember to turn my hips when swinging and this was the only time tonight I got it right.
  • Secured a pop fly with the glove over my head (I tend to allow the ball the fall to my waist before attempting to secure it)
  • Fielded all but one grounder hit at me cleanly (combining both games); the one that got away had a little bit of speed on it and I was unable to get my glove down in time.

Bad:

  • Lost my timing and hit one up the middle that caught the ankles of the pitcher
  • One-hopped a ball over to first (I did rebound later by throwing one cleanly)
  • Failed to connect on a throw to 2nd
  • Came close to colliding with SS on a ball in between us (was able to back off at the last second).
  • Would have like to maintained 3rd better.
