Caleb's Journal-all stars- July 21, 2014
This weekend, I got to play in our state all star tourney in Rocky Ford, Colorado. I had played in two in past years, and wasn't quite sure what to expect following our disappointing run last year.
I pitched in our first game, and threw pretty well. I struck out fifteen, surrendering 2 walks and just one hit. At the plate, I went 1-4 with a sac fly and 2 run single in an 8-2 win.
The next day, I caught all seven innings in a 8-3 win over UPL, and went 3-3 with 3 more RBI and a few runs scored. I picked off/caught stealing 3 runners.
My team played on Sunday morning while I was at church, and they lost 13-3 to the eventual state champs, Santa Fe.
On Sunday night, I was able to play. We were playing UPL again, and they wanted revenge. I thought I started things off right when I exploded on a ball, but the bigger field allowed a catch at the wall. I was catching pretty well, but our younger pitchers struggled. We soon found ourselves in a 6-1 hole. I came up to bat and hit a 3 run double to decrease the pain, but we found ourselves down again 9-4. I came in to pitch and shut them down for the next 4 innings, allowing no runs and no walks with hits. In the bottom of seven, we were down 9-5. (I had scored again earlier.) We had little chance of a rally, but managed to load the bases and score a run before thry got a second out. I was on deck when Jake hit a gb to second base, which should be the third out. Nope! Second base has a bad throw to first, followed by a bad throw to third! Jake's on second, all tied up 9 all. I'm being intentionally walked, and on ball 2, Jake steals third. After another ball, the pitcher accidentally put it over the plate. I swung and doubled to right, a walk off.
