Upper Allen Reds Win!!!
First off Happy Birthday to my Mom! She said that her birthday would bring good luck to the team today and it did! The Reds won 10-7 in a thrilling come from behind victory. They only play five innings but with the kids pitching that can go for two hours some days. Max played left field and got an at bat in the third. He drew a walk but failed to score. #2 is our guy Max and above you will find a picture of him on first base.
The Reds were down 5-3 through three innings but we were able to limit them to two more runs the rest of the way. It was 10-6 in the bottom of the fifth with two runners on when we got our first out when we picked off the runner trying to steal third. After a hit, the opposing team managed to score a run to narrow the lead. I was too nervous to sit and watch so I spent my time walking back and forth along the first base line. The coach came out and talked with our pitcher after he walked a few batters which seemed to settle him down. In short order he enduced a batter to fly out and then a struck another batter to end the inning and the game.
The Reds celebrated the second win of the season with freezer pops at the concession stand! This is the first win of the Upper Allen tournament we need two possibly three wins to make it to the semi finals. I will update again after the game tommorrow evening.
