Pulling the String

"Baseball...is a leisurely game that demands blinding speed, and the only one in which the defense has the ball. It follows the seasons, beginning each year with the fond expectancy of springtime and ending with the hard facts of autumn." - Baseball: An Illustrated History

Mustangs' Home Opener

Last night we joined 4,000 other fans to welcome the Ponies to Cobb Field for another season. It was a great game against the Great Falls White Sox. (I told Mom that I needed to see a team called the "White Sox" get whipped...) We carried a shut-out into the top of the ninth, but of course the Sox had to get a run in the top of the ninth.

The shutout wasn't "tame," though... the Sox had runners in scoring position 6 out of 9 innings. They stranded a lot of runners! There were four exciting double plays, two perfectly executed bunts, a home run, a triple, a successful pickoff, a stolen base. . . it was great baseball.

The nachos weren't too bad either. :)
