First Baseball Scrimage

This past Thursday I played in my first baseball game at Wartburg.  It was just a scrimage between us players, but we played it like a real game.  The coaches split the teams up evenly as there is a black team and a grey team.  We will play 12 games in the fall, on Tuesday's and Thursday's we play 9 inning games and on Sunday's we play to 7 inning games.  Thursday was game one with the coaches there evaluating us.  I am on the black team so we were the home team for the game.  I didn't play the field right away, but I did hit when my name came up in the line-up.  My first at bat was as good as it gets as I laced a line drive to left center field for a single.  What a better way to start the game.  The next part though wasn't great as I was picked off while at first base.  I think the excitement of getting my first hit got in my head to much and I forgot to pay attention to what was going on on the field.  It only got worse from there as I struck out my next at bat.  During my last at bat though, I came up with the bases loaded and I hit a deep fly ball to left center field that brought in a run so I was credited with a sac fly.  I then had to pitch the last inning of the game and I went three up three down in the order.  So overall I went one for two hitting with a sac fly and an rbi, and pitching I didn't give up a single hit or allow a runner to reach base.  All in all it was a great first start to my baseball career at Wartburg and I hope to build on this performance and continue getting better.
