I just got back from the park.
Man was it hot early. It cooled off later but the first hour and a half I got burned up.
Solid effort by the team. I'm still looking for this team to put it all together - pitching, fielding, hitting. Today Rainy was ok but not great. Tarango did fine in relief. Once again the team is committing fielding errors. Overstreet lets one slip under her glove at third and let one get by her to her left. She was also picked off first which is a really bonehead play. Geer with another error. Aldrete had another passed ball.
The hitting was obviously outstanding. One or two runs every inning is pretty darn good.
The home plate ump screwed the pooch on a ball that hit Koenig. The ball clearly hit her in the arm but he called her back. I thought at first he ruled the ball hit her bat and thus was a foul ball. Karen talked with him at length and apparently he ruled interference and that the ball hit her leg because she stuck it out.
Good crowd again today, maybe a few empty seats and the heat probably kept them subdued - it wasn't as loud as the first day.
The good news is they didn't have to pitch Gabriel. She'll be fresh for Sunday's first game.
