Thanks for blogging this year. Without your efforts, we could not have kept up with the team, and we appreciate it very much.

Per request, secondbaseman Blake Stroth struck out looking in the bottom of the first.

I've heard this pitcher for clarinda is pretty good , how does he look tonight?

Dan said...

Stroth grounds out to the Clarinda pitcher in the bottom of the third. Clarinda's pitcher (#33) seems to be getting alot of ground balls.

Dang, whats the score so far? 0-0? hows the defense from Blake?

Dan said...

Re the Clarinda pitcher: after watching more closely in the bottom of the 4th, he's definitely keeping the ball down in the zone and mixing in a pretty good breaking ball. Sinker/slider pitcher perhaps?

Re Blake Stroth: flyout on a foul ball down the left field line in the bottom of the fifth (Sorry to be the bearer of bad news on that front.)

Just not his day on the offensive end....hopefully hes making plays in the field!

Dan said...

Yes, it should be noted that Stroth is doing a good job in the field, as usual.

Dan said...

Base on balls for Stroth in the bottom of the 7th.
