Game 10: double header #1

Double header #1
We fell 0-11 vs a Travel team infield
- the bulldogs played awesome defense!
- We did pretty good ourselves but there were some mistakes
- We had an actual 3rd basemen, we haven’t had that but in 2 or 3 games this season
- Most every week our 3rd basemen are either pitching or catching
- Also we’re usually a player or 2 short so we have to move people around
- We also borrowed a short stop, she played well also
- We hit the ball into play 8 times!
- Put 5 runners on base but failed to score any runs
- We left 1 runner on 3rd, and 2 on 2nd
- Big thanks to Rebels players for helping us out, #7 and #18
- They allowed us to play our defense in the places we’re best at

OFFENSE
- 0 runs on 0 hits with 16 plate appearances
- 5 walks, only 3 strike outs
- 7 ground outs, 1 fly out
- We hit the ball, put it in play, they beat us
- We make a base running mistake, takes a runner out of scoring position with the power of our lineup coming to bat, ends the inning leaves runner stranded on 3rd
- #3, #7 rebels, #11, #27 reached base
- Pirates avg - .000
- Pirates OPS - .312
- Contact rate 72%
- We could hit the ball, just couldn’t get it past their defense
PITCHING
- #20 pitched the whole game
- Faced 29 batters, 11 runs scored (7 earned)
- 10 hits, 5 walks, 1 hit by pitch, 5 strike outs
- 82 pitches - 48% strikes
- Bulldogs batting avg - .435
- Bulldogs OPS 1.073
DEFENSE
- none of these plays changed the outcome but they are areas we can improve
- #1) 2 plays in right field, both difficult catches, neither is caught
- - However in both instances, 2 fielders met the ball, big improvement, but more work to be done
- #2) 2 plays at 1st, heel against the bag (instead of on it), runner called out.
- - That’s bad defensive positioning, but zoomed in on video it appears our heel is backed up against 1st base and it was a correct but close call
- - - The next time, a wide throw from 3rd pulls 1st foot off bag. She gets it back down before runner reaches (clear on video) but runner is called safe
- - - - I feel the first call affected the 2nd.
- - - - - We can help ourselves by have feet clearly on base on the 1st call
- #3) We had a pop up, 1st basemen had to go around a runner, 2nd couldn’t get there quick enough.
- We should’ve had that out, 1st basemen should’ve got that
- Defense has the rights to the ball, offense is supposed to go around us.
- #4) Fly ball pops out of glove at 2nd
- #5) a bad throw from 2nd and poor catch from 1st allow runner to reach
- #6) Couple close plays at home that pops out of our catchers glove
- #7) 1 dropped 3rd strike that reached.
- Again we still lose this game, but we can improve in these areas
