Game four for the District Tournaments for the 8U's is against the North Wake's A-Team the Knights.
The 8U's are first to the plate again this game. We know the Knights are a good team and are so far the only other undefeated team in the District Tournament.
#7 Jacob starts off our hitting in the first with a Bunt hit.
#32 Timothy hits a fly ball to right field, the ball is dropped by the right fielder, Jacob heads around the bases from first to home, North Wake throws the ball in to the catcher, the catcher grabs the throw, blocks the bag at tags Jacob with his glove, Jacob who missed the bag then reaches over and touches home with his hand..."SAFE" yells the UMP...unfortunately for North Wake the catcher had the ball in his other hand and NOT in his glove so one run scores.
Our next three batters get out, but #32 was able to score when #2 Garrett grounded out to the first basemen.
Our defense starts the game strong and North Wake goes three up, three down in the first.
The first two outs were courtesy of #32 Timothy at short stop, one a pop up and the other a ground ball that we throws to #2 Garrett at first. The third out was a pop up to #17 Ryan at second.
2-0 after 1.
The 8U's would only get one hit in the second inning. #14 Zach would hit one between second and third for a single. No runs score and we are stalled at two. The first two North Wake batters get on with a line drive single of short stop and a hard grounder up the middle for a triple that takes a bad hop in the out field to the fence. A run will score, they have a man on third and no outs on the board. Their next batter will fly out to #16 Payton in center field, he throws home to get the runner that tagged at third, but the runner is able to beat the throw and North Wake has tied the game. Their fourth batter lines out to #9 Payton at third, and their fifth batter goes down swinging.
