What a week for the Mudcat Nation! Quickly each parent and baseball player learned that we are all connected and "bleed red & black!" Having a young team, maybe some assumed we would struggle our first game. The warm up was shaky with players running in late, some struggling with pre-game nerves, others having trouble getting their uniforms situated and everyone trying to figure out what to do in general. On the opposite end of the field, the Bees seemed cool, calm and collected...at least that was the BLEACHER MOM observation.
Little did we know we were about to witness a great night of baseball!
The Mudcats got on base one little hit at a time as did the Bees. We got outs here and there and witnessed some incredible base running speed.
But despite our determination, the 6th inning looked dire with the Bees-9 runs and the Mudcats-7. However, the Mudcats had a few tricks up their sleeve. We quickly posted one run to leave runners on 2nd and 3rd-then hung in there with two outs, had a great hit combined with an error by the Bees and scored both runners to win the game! In the end the Mudcats had fewer errors, one more hit and one more run for the win. The excitement from all Mudcat parents, grandparents, siblings and fans was palpable. Final score: Mudcats-10, Bess-9. What a great start to another season of Mudcat baseball!
