Game #4

Date: August 15, 2002
Start: 9:15pm
End: 10:10pm
Where: Krieg Field #9
Opponents: The Posse

We were the visiting team (meaning we batted first).

Outcome: WIN
Final score: 23-9

Note: A good performance by the Ice Weasels. There were no spectacular defensive plays, but everyone played good defense, making very few errors. The offense was the real highlight of the game. Both Nathan and Eric got in-the-park homeruns -- and not ones due to throwing errors, either. Everyone else was hitting the ball solidly too, especially Azzy and Carrie. Even Mitch turned in an uncharacteristically good hitting performance, going three for four including a double and a "triple" (which involved two throwing errors). Every Ice Weasel reached base, and the team scored no fewer than 2 runs in an inning. The only runs allowed by the Ice Weasels came in the first inning, when Megan had some trouble throwing strikes, and in the final inning, when The Posse staged a mini-rally. A well-played game by the Ice Weasels. Thanks to Rob for keeping score.
