Game #8 Mudcats 5- Lookouts 8

Our Cardiac Cats had their eye black on and ready for some Monday night Mudcat madness !

As we  Pledged Allegiance to the Flag, we faced right into the sun that beamed down on the Mudcat bleachers ! It sure seemed like it was going to be a hot one ! It was time to toss the ball caps in the air and get down to the business of baseball.

1st inning ~ The Lookouts came out hitting hard. Connor started us off with a great catch in center field. Not too much damage was done as we took to the plate 0-1 !

The sun finally went behind the trees :-) Jay cheered, " hit it to outer space Channing!"  Channing delivered and started up off by getting on base.  Cameron stepped up with a blast to right field that brought in our first Mudcat run !  Connor had a great line drive to left field but we ended the inning 1-1.

2nd inning ~ The Lookouts got " 6"  runs on us quickly . They were working our outfield out pretty good !  Braden scored a web-gem with an awesome catch on 1st base .

The Lookouts got our Cats out 1-2-3 . We had some good solid hitting but the Lookouts stayed solid on defense.

3rd inning ~ Channing had a great web- gem play to keep the Lookouts scoreless.

The Mudcats settled down some, made some solid hits and inched closer to bring the score 4-6.

4th inning ~  Our MUDCAT defense really stepped up this inning taking care of the outs 1-2-3 in a row !

Connor started us off with a solid hit, Finn moved him around ! " WE NEED A HIT MOOSE" and the Moose delivered bringing in Connor ending the inning 5-6 !

5th inning ~ Gezzzz-- these Lookouts are some great hitters ! Bad throws and maybe we should have " eaten" the ball some added runs to the Lookouts lead.
This inning ended 5-8

6th inning ~ WE JUST NEED 3 outs and 4 runs ! Not too much to ask of our Cardiac Cats right ??

The bleachers were ready for a comeback! " Stay tough Mudcat's" ~~ " Let's play ball guys" `` " Give a team effort Cats" !! All the encouragement helped out Cats to again, a 1-2-3 out series !

JUST 4 runs and we can go home winners Mudcats ! ONCE again, we had two outs and the Cats started coming alive! Cameron stepped to the plate and drove Connor to 3rd ! We were all at the edge of our seats but a pop-up and some bad Mudcat luck ended our Monday night Mudcat madness :-)
