The Padres winning streak comes to an end. A few too many errors on defense lost the game. Kids that normally get hits, either struck out or had pop-flys caught. On a positive note, the Cubs said that this was their closest game they played.
The Padres took the lead and shut down the Cubs offense in the 1st inning. Two of the top ball clubs played good baseball through the entire game.
Christian and I had been working on fielding on the off team practice days and it’s paying off. He’s getting to ball and making good plays. He’s had several great defensive stops in the last 3 games. We also worked on swinging all the way through on his swings. As a result he had 2 monster hits in today’s game. For his good fielding and solid bat, he got the game ball.
We have a very busy week coming up. We play the Giants on Wednesday and the White Sox on Friday both on Field 2, goto the San Diego Padres vs Seattle Mariners game Saturday and play a game on Sunday afternoon against the Braves on Field 1. All the games start at 5:00 pm. See you there!
Final Score: Padres 8 – Cubs 12
