We were the visiting team.

Outcome: WIN
Final score: 18-11

Notes: This was the first game the Ice Weasels had ever played on a Monday night, having always played on Thursday nights or in weekend tournaments. It was a hard fought win by the Weasels, featuring what research indicates is the second triple play made by the Weasels in team history (the first happened on October 21, 2004 in this game). In the bottom of the second inning, there were runners on first and second base with nobody out. The batter hit a pop-up to shallow right-center field. The runner from second seemed certain it would drop in, and was running head down. The runner from first base had gone part of the way to second base when he saw Tim make a nice running catch of the ball for the first out. He threw a bullet to Amanda at first base just in time to double off the runner for the second out. Meanwhile, the runner from second base was only now realizing that she needed to be heading back. Amanda threw the ball to Matt (covering second base as shortstop) to complete the triple play. The win was definitely a team effort, and good hustle and heads-up base running greatly contributed to the victory. Chris did a great job pitching in relief of Neil, who was having trouble throwing strikes consistently. The final half inning of the game featured three nice defensive plays by the Weasels. The first out was recorded when a batter hit a line drive into shallow left field, near the foul line. Shawn had been playing off the line, and thus was running toward foul territory when he fielded the ball on a hop. The batter tried to stretch the hit into a double, but Shawn threw the ball to Matt, and he relayed the ball to Becky at second base in plenty of time to tag the approaching runner. The next batter hit a sharp ground ball to Neil at third base. He fielded it cleanly and made an excellent throw to Azzy at first base to retire the batter. The next batter hit a solid grounder to Becky at second base. She fielded it perfectly and made a good throw to Azzy at first base to get the final out of the game. The offensive leaders of the game were Tim (4 for 4: 2 singles and 2 doubles) and Neil (3 for 3: 3 singles). A nice way to start the Summer season! Thanks to Courtney, Manny, and Tony for coming out to cheer. Great thanks to David for keeping score.
