Mitchell, at the bottom of our lineup, would start us off in the seventh. He's been doing really well behind the plate, calling a good game, but it took a toll on his batting. He had a nice line drive in the third, but it was caught. Then a grounder to the second baseman. His third at-bat wasn't any better, hitting a routine grounder to short. At least he's making contact. It's only a matter of time before he sneaks one to the outfield.
Noah stepped up next, Sean to on deck circle, and I stood in the hole with Garret right beside me.
"This is a good start to the season." Garret commented, smiling. "A solid win in a big tournament that we don't normally participate in."
I nodded.
Noah smacked another single to short right field. Sean moved up and I moved to the on deck circle. Unfortunately I wouldn't get the chance to have a fourth at-bat. Even with a fast runner like Noah on first, Sean hit into another double play.
