Rain Delay

Gabe's second game this weekend was going much better, before it was stopped due to rain. The game, against West Pasco all stars, is on hold in the top of the fourth inning. The Safety Harbor all stars are down 3-1, two of the runs scored due to error, unfortunately.

Gabe pitched the first inning very well and, as the catcher, threw a pick off throw to second to nail a runner trying to steal. He also hit from both sides of the plate. He's the lead off hitter and, at his first at bat from the right side of the plate, hit a line drive that the left fielder leaped and "snow coned" the catch. His next at bat, from the left side of the plate with men on second and third with two outs, Gabe struck a line drive that the right fielder lept and caught.

Two great hits. Two unfortunate outs.

The rains started and we waited, but the game has been postponed until Monday at 7 p.m. When Gabe got home he was so excited because he's experiencing his first rain delay... just like the major leaguers.

I love his attitude.

So, weather permitting, we'll see if our team can pull out a victory Monday night.
