We weren't quite sure that this game was going to take place today or not, as only part of the team arrived to the field on time. It wasn't only until shortly before the start of the game when most of the kids finally showed up. Unfortunately there wasn't enough kids for the Rays to technically play the game, as only 7 players made it to the field and 8 are required to play a game. As there are only 9 kids on the team normally, this could be a recurring issue throughout the entire year. Fortunately for Samantha, the coaches got together and decided to play the game anyway. She had one of her best games in her minor league career tonight, going 2 for 2 from the plate with two singles and an RBI. She walked in her other three plate appearances. She also played well in the field, where she returned to her comfort zone of second base. She wasn't the only player who gave their all tonight, as the Rays went on to win big, by a 15-8 score (it was 13-1 at one point until the Rays started rotating in pitchers to give them experience). All in all, a 1-1 start to the year isn't too terrible, considering the amount of players on the team.
