    Tonight's game was full of fireworks - first provided by 
the Reds, with their 5 run outburst in the first inning, including a home run, 
and then by the coaches of the White Sox, who spent long periods of time arguing 
two controversial calls in the field. After scoring those 5 runs in the top of 
the first inning, they managed to get the White Sox out 1-2-3. Things looked 
like they were finally going to go the Reds way, and they were going to put 
together a complete game. By the beginning of the 4th inning it was a whole new 
ball game, as the score was knotted at 5 apiece. The White Sox even managed to 
grab the lead a couple times, but thankfully the Reds didn't give up. They 
fought back from their comedy of errors, and finally went back on top. When the 
game was finally over, the Reds came out victorious, by an 11-8 score. Samantha 
struggled at the plate, striking out three times. She spent most of the game at 
second base, but made a crucial throwing error to first base - short-arming the 
ball when she had all kinds of time to make the easy toss. She eventually asked 
to move to center, where she managed to grab an impressive fly ball out that 
ended a White Sox comeback attempt.
