1/14/11 Game at Castle Park HS

Today we played Castle Park High School in Chula Vista. The hard fought game ended in a disappointing 1-1 tie. The Lions of Calvary out-hit the Castle Park Trojans 6-5, and it appeared that the Lions played much better than the Trojans. Calvary was able to hang with the D-2 Trojans even though Calvary batted all 16 players and pitched almost everyone while the Trojans played their best 9 and threw their #1 and #2 pitchers. The game showed great promise for the regular season, as it also exposed many areas for improvement. I started the game at third base and batted 4th. I quickly moved from third base to catcher 1/3 of the way through the first inning due to an injury to the starting catcher. Since we had 16 guys show up for the game, each player moved from position to position quite frequently and everyone got both play time and bench time. Throughout the game I moved from third base, to catcher, to bench (2nd inning), to shortstop (3rd and 4th innings), back to bench (5th inning), and then catcher again (6th and 7th innings). Not a bad day at the plate; I went 2-2 (both line drive singles to left) with an RBI and a stolen base. Next stop, Kearny High School!
