Game # 5 Mudcats 16 - BULLS 5 !

P~R~A~C~T~I~C~E makes P~E~R~F~E~C~T !
Our Cats came through tonight!
BUT it did NOT start on the field !
I thought we were the only family rushing to get homework done, food in the belly and a game uniform on the body ! I thought we were the only family rushing to get the water bottle filled up and the Mudcat bracelet on and the game face on ! I thought I was the only Mom struggling to get the grey pants clean, the socks ready and the belt just right ! UNTIL we all arrived at the same time with the same silly " are we really here" face :-) All in a moment everyone arrived, scrambled to our HOME seat and a deep sigh of relief set in ! WE MADE IT :-)

NOW ~ The sun was shining very bright on the "HOME" team bleachers and the question was ~Did our Mudcats arrive too ! ? ! Uniforms cleaned, bellies full ( of various things) bats, gloves and game faces on " COMPLETE WITH EYE BLACK " !! THANK YOU COACH JAIME !!  Way way cool :-) Time to play some baseball !

1st inning  ~ It was so great to hear the Cats infield yelling, " play is on first ~ get down~ no hits no outs" ! Then a BOMB of a hit put runners on and the Bulls put 2 runs in the books !
Our Mudcat leadoff hitter , " Action" Jackson delivered with a great hit to get on base ! Cameron stepped up and drove in Braden for out 1st Mudcat run.  Mudcats 1- Bulls 2

2nd inning ~A relaxing breeze came about the field as the sun finally set and the Mudcat bleacher fans could put their sunglasses on top their heads ! The Bulls were killing it ! They were working the bat and bases hard  BUT The Cats held them to just 4 runs !

I believe ALEX came ALIVE in the dugout as he lead the Cats in enthusiasm and excitement to cheer them on to a great batting inning ! Our Jay"bird" hit Will the "Thrill" in to bring our score 2-4 !

3rd inning~ Let it be noted, "SAM" was very excited to share his love for the eye black !!! He said it was " TOUGH"! Great recovery for our defensive Mudcats and Braden with a solid hit put Jackson on 3rd base! Channing with a solid hit brought #34 in and our Cats to 3-5 !

4th Inning ~The Cats kept inching closer one out and one run at a time ! They held tough on defense and delivered ! I think I saw a " Jaybird " under that catcher equipment and he was AWESOME !
 1~2~3 SOLID defense put us up to bat !
Smiley bombed a hit to start us off :-)
Finn hit Smiley in 4-5
Mason N. hit to rt field put runners on 1st& 2nd
Jay hit Finn in to tie the game up 5-5
Sam hit the Cats around to lock& load the bases !
Mason J put the Moose on the loose and The Cats 6-5
Alex hit Jay AND Sam in 8-5 ( a few Bull errors helped our locked and loaded lead) !

5 th Inning ~ I think it might have gotten , " chilly"  not just for the fans but for the Bulls !
Gezzzz the Cats really kept the ball in front of them, made smart plays, throws and moves !
The Cats kept the Bulls to ZERO runs and stepped up to bat !

BRADEN bombed a hit into the outfield and home came Jackson 9-5
CHANNING drove in Braden 10-5
CAMERON banged in Channing 11-5
Connor moved the Cats around
WILL drove in Cameron 12-5
FINN with a great hit brought in Connor 13-5
Jay "bird" came up clutch with a hit to center field and brought in Will 14-5
SAM advanced runners and MASON J brought in Finn & Sam 16-5
The 10 run rule was put in force and the inning was over !

6th inning !CATS WIN~~SOLID DEFENSE ~~ STEADY PLAY ~~we put runs on the board, outs in the books and ended this game with out ASPRIN  :-) LOL :-)

It was a two sticker, heads up base running , locked and loaded kinda night !
Sleep tight Mudcats !

Your BLEACHER crew is very very proud of you !
