West Raleigh will face the same Ocala FL team that we faced in the first game of pool play. We had heard many times throughout the weekend that Ocala had wanted us, and they wanted us bad.
Ocala would chose to be the away team and the first to the plate. Their first three batters would all get on, two with hits up the middle and the other by bunt. The fourth batter hits a ground ball to #17 Ryan at second who throws to #2 Garrett at first for out #1, and an Ocala run will score. The fifth batter bunts, bad throw home in attempt to get the runner will lead to two runs scoring. Good hustle by Jacob who runs back to the backstop to get the ball and also beats the second runner who is called safe on the tag. The sixth batter grounds out to #32 Timothy at short stop who gets the ball to Garrett at first. The seventh batter hits a HIGH one hopper that #10 David jumps up, grabs and throws to #2 Garrett at first for out #3.
Ocala jumps out of the gate quick with three runs in the first.
#28 Brian will start off our hitting with an one out line drive single to center field.
#2 Garrett hits a hard ground ball to the first basemen, who can't handle it and Garrett makes it there safe.
#8 Evan hits a hard line drive to right center field scoring #28.
Evan will have the last and only RBI of the first inning for WR.
1-3 Ocala after 1
Ocala gets one on in the second, but only three batters will step to the plate. The first batter pops up to #32 Timothy who makes the catch behind third. The second batter will get on by a bad throw to first. The next batter hits a ground ball to #9 Payton at third, who grabs it, turns makes the throw to #17 Ryan at second, who steps on second, turns and throws to #2 Garrett at first for a 5-4-3 DOUBLE PLAY!!!
#16 Payton Bloom steps to the plate with one out on the board in the second and hits a hard grounder towards third, the third basemen makes a diving stop on the ball, but Payton makes it easily to first.
#17 Ryan drops one in behind third for a base hit.
