Brawl for it All 03/5-6/2016 - Dripping Springs, TX

Saturday
Game 1 Vs. Hill Country Combat
Lost 0-8
Several K's, Poor Base Running, and bad attitudes (especially William) gave the Hill Country Combat team all they needed to shut us out.  William pitched, struck out and kept the bench worm.  Rough Game

Game 2 Vs. Boerne Braves
Lost 1-6
More K's and several Fly Outs sent us home 0-2 for the day.  William played catcher and went 0-2 with a ground to the pitcher and a pop up to short.


Sunday

Game 3 Vs. Hill Country Combat
Win 8-6
At the bottom of the 4th we were down 6-3 but in the 5th we came together scoring 5 runs and sent Hill Country Combat home for the weekend.  William Caught and went 1-3 with a ground out to second, a strikeout, and a ground rule double down the right field foul line.

Game 4 Vs. Texas Bombers
Win 9-4
The Bombers pitching was lacking this game.  Multiple walks and several base hits was too much for the Bombers to keep up with.  Weekly catching lessons are really showing up on the field,  although its not my favorite position for William he really is doing well back there. William went 1-3 with a ground rule double over the center field wall and 2 ground outs to short stop.

ON TO THE SHIP!!!
