The first scrimmage is now behind us. We lost 14-6. Some observations...
1. We have depth at pitching. - We pitched six pitchers...Caleb, Bill, TJ, Thomas, Matthew, and Zach. All of the boys looked good. Cardinal Gibbons is a good hitting team.
2. Caleb and Thomas both had multi-hit games. (Caleb was 2-2 single, double, walk and Thomas was 2-3).
3. Until the last inning we had only 2 Ks and we were putting the ball in play.
4. Defensively, we played OK. We had some good plays and some errors, some of which could be attributed to 1st game nerves.
Coach Harvey made good use of the free substitution rules that a scrimmage situation gives us. All players got at least one at bat, and everyone also got into the game defensively. We batted 10 players all game long, and at one point we batted 11. Our primary goal was not to win the game, but rather get everyone into a game scenario and hit against quality live pitching.
The team accomplished it's goal and we're looking forward to our next outing.
Our next schedule practice is at Flemming on Saturday. Depending on the weather and the availability of Wake Christian, we may be scrimmaging.
