The Padres bats are back and win a game against the Giants. As the season has progressed, the coaching staff hasn’t had to yell at the kids to make plays. They are just doing it and team is playing with confidence.

Christian is becoming a complete player both offensively and defensively. His bat has always been pretty good and he is now swinging all the way through. He is starting to consistently hit the ball hard to the outfield. I have to think that the other teams are surprised to see the littlest kid on the field hit like the big kids. He had 2 hits for RBI’s in the 1st and 3rd innings. He had a monster hit to outfield to move the runner in the bottom of the 5th, but got caught out.

His fielding has come a long way since he started playing, the kid that couldn’t catch the ball is now making the plays. In this game he caught a pop fly at pitcher in the 2nd, a 4-3 combination with Zach P in the top of the 6th and a 6-4 combo with Jordan to close out the game. Zach P got the game ball for solid offense and nice defense today.

Our next game is Friday at 5:00 pm on Field 2 against the White Sox. See you there!

Final Score: Giants 1 – Padres 14
