Game 9

This game wasn't as close as it should have been, based on the amount of bad decisions and throwing errors that wind up costing this team runs seemingly every game. Tyler made his share of mistakes, missing two fly balls over his head while playing left field. None directly cost his team any runs at the time of the miss, but the batter later scored each time. He did OK at the plate despite striking out to end the game. He did manage to stay alive for two walks in his first two at-bats, stole a couple of bases, and came around to score the tying run early in the game. Unfortunately one bad inning in the field seems to be their major undoing most times, and tonight was no different. The end result was an 11-6 loss to the first place team in the league (a team that also happens to made up entirely of kids that do not go to the local schools and who also happen to all play travel baseball - isn't that convenient...).
