It was one of those cut & dried games... where you get ahead, you stay ahead and you didn't really feel like they would ever catch up. The boys got on early, scored early and held it.
We ten run-d them in the 4th inning. (You have to play 4 innings. You're not allowed to get more than 10 runs ahead of the opposing team - unless you haven't played to 4 innings.)

A highlight... Carsten, one of the boys hit a home run. Over the fence. There's nothing quite like a home run to lift the spirits of a team! (or dampen the spirits of a team - if it wasn't yours!)
Today Josiah mostly played Left Field. You know, when the kids are younger, all of the plays are in the infield. It's sort of a bummer when you're an outfielder... even sort of an insult. It means you're not a very good fielder... so they put you where the ball usually doesn't go.
In All Stars, it's not that way at all! Because All Stars are playing, almost all of the boys are *great* hitters. Which means there's plenty of pop flys and grounders to the outfield. I've really been impressed in the last two games with all of the outfielders on Josiah's team. If it weren't for them, the other team would win easily. Josiah caught a great pop fly in this game. It's amazing with which the amount of ease he catches those pop flys. It's like it's no biggie at all!! What I've really learned this All Stars season, is that the outfielders can make or break the team!
Score was 10-0, SSLL wins. Phew! Two wins down!!! Tuesday the 12th, they play Sedro Woolley.
