    I am not really sure what went wrong during the last game, 
but the team looked really good tonight. The hitting was strong, and the 
fielding was solid. Samantha had a strong game at the plate, getting a hit in 
each at bat. She let a couple balls get by that were in her area while playing 
the field, but they weren't plays that many of the other kids could have made 
either. It was the team defense that saved them from allowing an opposition 
rally, however. Twice the batter was out at first base on hits along the first 
base line, and the final out was on a pop-fly that was caught by our third 
baseman (and friend) Ben. Tonight's final score was a well earned 14-11 victory 
for the Rice's Garden Ornament team.
