    Tonight's game was another tough one for the Cardinals as 
they fell behind early, rallied, but fell short in the end. It wasn't a big 
inning that killed them in this game, but rather a run here or two there. The 
disappointing end result was a 6-4 loss. The only consolation for the team 
should be that it was a 6-0 deficit but they didn't give up and were able to 
close the gap dramatically in the final two innings. 
    Tyler's contribution to the team tonight wasn't what we 
hoped it would be. He went 0-2 from the plate, striking out both times. He swing 
looked much better tonight for the most part, with one exception that stands out 
in my mind (another golf swing). I just hope for his sake that he starts making 
contact with the ball soon. Speaking of contact, he did attempt to bunt in his 
second at bat, but it ended up going straight back for a foul ball. He told me 
his coach told him to bunt, then after the game he was all upset because the 
coach told Tyler he did the exact opposite of what he wanted him to do. I really 
don't know what happened, but the bunt attempt was a decent one, so I have no 
complaints.
