[Updated 4/6 – Added video of Christian Pitching]
Christian has been solid at defense and got an out at 2nd base throwing the runner out at 1st in the first inning. He also got an out in the 5th inning catching a pop fly in right field and started a double play 9-1-6.
The 3 3D Roofing pitchers all pitched in the minors last year. They shut down our our entire lineup. No one was was able to get any hits. Although the bottom half of our lineup did manage to get on base.
This was Christian’s first game pitching. He had a couple control issues, but was able to pitch pretty straight. His arm got tired as the inning continued and started throwing the ball short to our catcher Jackson. He walked a couple batters and gave up 5 runs. A couple adjustments and I think he’ll do fine his next outing. His official pitch count for the inning was 35.
He was pretty down on himself after the half. But his teammate Zach gave him encouraging words and tried to cheer him up. He even said that he hit 2 players and hit the ump twice his last game…and it wasn’t Zach’s first game pitching. All in all, I was proud of him to go out there and give it his best.
Final Score: Coldwell 0 – 3D Roofing 9
