Game #12 Mudcats13 ~ Riverdogs 9 !

                              ~~~~~~~THREE WINS IN A ROW~~~~~~~
                                                 Way to play Mudcats!

Jaybird showed  up " RED"dy to play and fired up his Cats with one cool "JAYHAWK" ! Yes, I know it is a Mohawk but it just seems so much cooler to call his inspirational hair cut a "JAYHAWK" !

The infield looked "THICK" from all the rain , as the coached prepped the field ! Well, the infield looked thick AND the smell of the PDQ was thick in the stands! It seems that PDQ is addictive :-) I tried to wheel and deal a few chicken strips but was abruptly denied :-) LOL

                             ~~~~GAMETIME~~~~GAMETIME~~~~GAMETIME~~~~

1st inning !
These Riverdogs showed up with 9 players and I promise they looked like they drove themselves to the game ! They looked so focused and older ! I personally was very impressed with their batting and fielding all game for having only 9 players !

The Riverdogs came out hitting hard! The 2nd batter bombed one to center field and they quickly got on the board 0-1 ! This up to bat ended with the Riverdogs only getting run because Mason J made a great play in right field, Moose was solid in left field and the boys played solid defense as the River dogs pounded the ball !

TIME TO BAT 1stinning ~
~ Jay gets on -- excuse me, JAYHAWK gets on to lead off
~Braden drove one to center
~Connor moved the boys around
~Channing drove in two Cats 2-1 :-)
"THAT's THE WAY WE LIKE IT" came cheering from the Mudcat dugout ! YES~~ I like that song, and that is exactly the way we like it !!
~Cameron moved Channing to third and then our up to bat ended !

2nd inning ~
A few~~ strike that ~~ ALOT of great hitting ended he Riverdog appearance at the plate 2-6 ! I must admit, I thought this was going to get ugly for our Cats~ The Riverdogs just looked so solid at the plate ~~ Well, that's what I get for thinking ! I forget about the 5th & 6th inning magic that some how occurs for our Cats!

Mudcats and Riverdogs held tough, fought hard and the score remained the same ! So, this Mudcat Mom was starting to remember what sometimes happens in the 5th and 6th !

WEB GEM of a catch from Channing ~ 2nd out from Action  the 3rd as Will seals the deal !!!
