6/10/10: Two Holt Jr. Rams U12 teams went head to head on Thursday, in PONY league play, and had to battle to the very end. Team White came to win and came out strong with 2 runs each, in the first, second, and third innings. Team D&M posted 2 runs in the first inning as well but laid a goose egg in the second inning which eventually put Team White up 6 -2 at the halfway point of the third inning. Team D&M finally woke up and posted 5 runs in the bottom of the third to put them up by one point. Both teams cooled off a bit in the forth with no runs for White and just one for D&M. However, Team White wasn't ready to give up yet and punched in 2 runs in the top of the fifth to tie the game 8-8. Team D&M had last bats and one last chance left to stay undefeated in PONY play. With one runner on base, he managed to steel second base, then on the next pitch he found himself in a pickle between second and third. Luck being on his side he managed to escape and make it to third base. Now with only one batter down and out and the winning run on third base, Team White takes a time out to discuss strategy. Unfortunately for a spunky Team White, Team D&M snuck out the win with a daring steel home on a missed ball that the catcher could not locate. The final score was 9-8.
Great job to both teams!! A lot of hits, action, and nail biting!
