On Sunday, the Outlaws were back at Bartholomew Sports Complex for the second day of the All World May Dayz baseball tournament. They played the Razorbacks in the first game. This is a team from Los Banos that the Outlaws have not faced before.
At the plate, Jack was 3 for 3 with 4 RBIs and 2 runs scored. In his first at-bat with no outs and the bases loaded, he hit a 1 and 0 pitch for a line drive into centerfield for a single and two RBIs. Jack went to second on the throw, to third on Josh's fielder's choice and scored on Breyton's triple. He got up a second time in the first inning with runners on second and third and one out. Jack hit a 2 and 0 pitch for a line drive into left center for a single and two more RBIs. He went all the way to third on the throw and then scored on Josh's ground out. In his third at-bat, Jack hit a 2 and 1 pitch through the left side for a single. He stole second. In an odd sequence, Jack kept running and went to third on an error by the second baseman. He ended the inning there.
In the field, Jack played three innings at third base. He never touched the ball...
The Outlaws blew out the Razorbacks by the score of 18 to 3 in three innings. The box score is here.
The Outlaws turned around and played Blaze Baseball 12U. This is a team from Ceres that the Outlaws have never faced before.
At the plate, Jack was 2 for 3 with 3 RBIs and a run scored. In his first at-bat, he hit the first pitch down the third base line for a single and an RBI. Jack stole second and scored on Josh's single. He struck out looking in his second plate appearance on three pitches; the called third strike was very far off the plate... In his third at-bat with runners on second and third and no outs, Jack drove the first pitch deep into the hole for a single and two RBIs.
In the field, Jack played three innings at third and one inning in centerfield. He had one put-out and two assists. Jack handled two grounders to the left side in the first inning and made throws to first and second for the outs. In the third inning in centerfield, he made a great sliding catch on a sinking line drive.
The Outlaws beat the Blaze by the score of 13 to 4 in four innings. The box score is here.
With a record of 3 wins and 1 loss, the Outlaws advanced to the championship game of the tournament against the Sutter Storm. They had lost to the Sutter Storm on Saturday.
The Outlaws got out pitched and in a repeat of Saturday morning did not execute well in the field. Oddly, the Storm pitched the same pitcher [Garret Buragin] against the Outlaws in both games. The Storm's pitcher threw 125 pitches and 8 innings against the Outlaws in two days. Even more disconcerting, their pitcher throws lots of curve balls. I am personally very uncomfortable with a kid being used this way.
At the plate, Jack was 0 for 2. In his first at-bat, he struck out on a nasty 2 and 2 curve ball off the plate. Jack grounded a 0 and 1 pitch to the third baseman in his second plate appearance and was thrown out at first.
In the field, Jack played three innings at first base and one inning in centerfield. He had two put-outs at first on throws from the pitcher and second baseman.
Letting two batters reach base on dropped third strikes and two batters score from third on passed balls, the Outlaws fell to the Sutter Storm by the score of 8 to 0 in four innings. The box score is here.
The Outlaws have 19 wins and 12 losses for the Spring 2011 season. The game log is here.
