Conference Play

We opened up our conference play with an away game to Transylvania...we had a heck of a time getting there with all the vampire bats flying around. Despite that, it was a perfect evening for a ball game. Transy was 0-1 in conference play coming into this game so we knew they were hungry for a victory. I wish I could have said the same thing for us.

The game started out with them scoring the first runs. A couple run deficit then turned into a huge deficit after we gave up two home runs. I believe that one of the home runs is still up in the air and has failed to reach the ground. It was a shot. What I like about our team is that we never give up, no matter what the score seems to be. We chip away inning by inning. Before you know it, we are right back in the ball game, as in this case. We cut the deficit to just three runs but couldn't get over the hump we needed to be victorious. Anyway, as you can probably assume, we ended up losing our conference opener 10-7. It was a tough one to swallow. The good thing about baseball though is that there is always another game to correct your mistakes. We started off crummy last year in the conference but still ended up winning it. It's still early and I have to say that we will be alright.
