We went to Kyle's game in Stanwood tonight (about 30-40 minutes north). We didn't arrive until about the 3rd inning, which is when Kyle entered the game in right field. We were ahead 2-0 at the time. It was a well played game on both sides. Kyle's first at bat was a walk to lead off the fourth inning, followed by a single. It was looking like some insurance runs were on the way. That was until the triple play. Yes, you read that right. The next batter drilled a shot directly at the first baseman, who tagged the runner and threw to second before Kyle could get back. Stunned shock. Big bummer. There really wasn't anything he could do, especially since they kept pushing him for larger and larger leads at second.
His next at bat came with two out and the bases loaded in the sixth (we play seven). We were up 3-2. He hit fly ball directly to the left fielder. Good contact, no bonus points. Stanwood tied it in the bottom of the sixth and shut us down in the top of the seventh. In the bottom of the seventh, a couple of hits and they score a run to end the game 4-3. Nobody likes to lose in the bottom of the last inning, but it really was a good game - nothing to hang your head at.
Next game Monday.

Kyle, sounds like the hitting is coming around. I know you were concerned about that. Can't wait to see a game.
