Back at Rohnert Park for the third day of the Northern California Cal Ripken Tournament, Laguna played Concord.
At the plate, Jack was 2 for 3 with a strike out looking and two singles. In his first at-bat, Jack struck out looking on three pitches. He was not alone; more on Concord's pitcher later. In 13 plate appearances, this was Jack's only strike-out of the tournament. It is actually his first strike-out in 38 plate appearances dating back to May 30.
With the score tied 0 to 0 in the top of the fourth, Niko led off the inning with a single up the middle. Jeremy sacrificed him to second. Jack hit the first pitch for a hard grounder through the left side for a single in his second plate appearance to move Niko to third. Niko scored and Jack moved to second on Josh's bunt single. With Breyton and Jordan striking out looking, Jack ended the inning at second.
With the score tied 1 to 1 and two outs in the top of the sixth, Jack hit the first pitch for a hard grounder through the right side for a single in his third plate appearance. He went to third on an error by the second baseman on Josh's grounder, while Josh went to second on the throw. Breyton struck out swinging to end the inning.
In the field, Jack played fifth innings in center field and one inning at third. He had one put-out. With a runner on third and two outs in the bottom of the second, Jack made an incredible catch on a sinking line drive in left center.
The pitcher for Concord [James Biles] was a giant 11 year old. He threw all six innings [84 pitches, 58 strikes and 26 balls] for Concord. Biles struck out 13 batters; 7 of those strike-outs were looking. Laguna scratched out 4 hits. Jack had 2 grounders, Niko had a line drive and Josh had a bunt single.
Laguna lost the game by the score of 2 to 1 and is eliminated from the Northern California Cal Ripken Tournament.
