The Bases Loaded Walk

April 30th, 2009, 8:00 PM PST @ Northrup Grunman in Woodland Hills

Email from my manager:

Good Morning Rockets,

What a win this past week! This is the second consecutive win in the last two weeks where we won with an identical score of 12-11. J I don’t recall anything like this. Our bats came to hit last week. We had a rally every inning. Ron hit two timely homeruns to keep things going for us, including the game tying HR in the top of the 7th. Viet’s bases loaded walk to force in the winning run was the key. Our defense made some clutch plays throughout the game. More importantly, James’s pitching and our defense kept them scoreless in the bottom of the 7th to preserve the win. (James struck out the last batter w/ the bases loaded) It was a very good win for us.

Next up will be Diablos. I am confident we can continue our good play and winning streak. Keep up the nice work everyone. The game is on this Thursday @ 8 p.m. If you cannot make it, please advise.

Thank you.
Mike

Gamenotes: A crazy thing did happen in the 2nd inning when our pitcher was trying to score from 2nd on a single and completely ran over the catcher (a small asian chick) from the other team. James was called out but he put a solid lickin on that poor catcher.

Rockets Softball Record: 4-0.
