After my first night where I actually slept well, I woke up to a delicious bacon an eggs breakfast. Immediately after breakfast we got dressed and loaded into the girls orphanage bound bus. When we walked in the gate for the orphanage, each player's hand was immediately grabbed by one, two, and sometimes three little girls. We were all led off to separate parts of the orphanage by Dominican girls ranging from 5-15 years of age. They did everything from singing to us, playing volleyball, and teaching us their special handshakes. It was so awesome being able to be their "big brother" for a few hours. When time came to leave, it was hard to leave, but when we did, all the girls had huge smiles on their faces. We returned to the complex for lunch which consisted of (once again) chicken and rice. We had about an hour of down time which we spent relaxing in the dorm before our game. The game was at the Giants complex where we were staying and was by far the best field we played on. We won 5-2, and after the game,Christian High catcher, AJ Gregorovic, shared his testimony. Once again, we handed out tracts to all the players and fans, and we spent about an hour after the game socializing with the players. Tired from the orphanage and the game, we had one more thing to go to- the SCORE international missionary night. This was basically a gathering for all the groups to come together and have a night of worship. After the service, we had the opportunity to buy souvenirs from some local missionaries. Of course, as any guy would do, I bought a machete. We headed back to the hotel and got a much needed nights sleep.
