Fall when it is Summer time

Hey everyone! Just wanted to point out that the weather here is the worst weather I have ever seen. All it does is rain an it is cold here! It is June but feels like October! Anyway now that that is out of the way here is the update for the last 4 games.

Tues and Wed of last week we had a series with the number 1 team in the league, the Hoboken Pioneers. They were undefeated coming into this series. The first game we faced their American import Josh Neitz who used to play in the NY Yankees organization. He is a very good pitcher and a nice guy. Kev Mac pitched for us (the Aussie import) and had a good game striking out 10 and keeping them to a 1-1 game going into the 6th. There you go Kev, your shout-out. They were winning 5-1 going into the later innings. We ended up taking the lead 8-5 at the end of the 8th inning and the game, finally, was called due to darkness. We handed the Pioneers their first loss of the season. I ended up going 1 for 5 with an RBI in that game. The second game was a different story. Our pitching staff walked 14 batters! Our defense made 4 errors! It was by far our worst performance of the season and the Pioneers won easily 9-3. I went 1-4 in that game. finished 2-9 for the series, not my best games.

The second series we played was this past weekend against the 3rd place Spartans. This team is compiled of Dominicans and Venezuelans, which are great ball players. We won the first game 12-5 in a pretty easy win. We played solid defense and Dennis gave us another chance to win a game with him pitching. I went 3-4 with a couple RBIs and some plays at shortstop. Game two was another cold rainy day. It seems that everyday is a cold rainy day here in Belgium but that is besides the point. We came out flat and unenergized. We made 3 errors and walked a lot more people than we should have. Our team as a whole just did not want to play. To make it worse, the umpires put on an awful display. The base umpire made 4 wrong calls at 1st base resulting in taking 4 hits away from us. One of them was with me and I almost got thrown out of the game when I told him he was an F-ing idiot and he made the wrong call. He did not seem to like that too much Haha We ended up losing 9-1 in 9 innings. It was a very bad game. I went 1-3 with the only RBI of the game coming in the 9th inning.
