Leif's team still hasn't gotten in a second time. Four games in a row have been canceled because of weather. One of the canceled games was a make-up game.
It's driving his coach crazy.
Yeah. The rainy winter weather in the Bay Area overlaps with the pre-season of baseball, and you often get years such as this where most of your practices are rained out. Three years ago, I think all the practices got rained out and coaches were handing out jerseys before the first game.
As for my Little League team, after losing our last two games on close scoring, pitcher's battles (2-1, and 4-3 in extras) we lost 13 to 8 last night. Super frustrating game where the ump was calling a tight strike zone, it was cold and windy, tons and tons of walks, which had the infielders back on their heels and then making lots of errors. We're just back from a ten day layoff from spring break and they looked worse than rusty.
On the plus side, Emmett walked, hit an RBI single, and blasted a two-run homer (his second this season). A line drive over the centerfield fence. He also made a twisting, scrambling grab of a foul pop while playing catcher. He stepped on the bat coming out to get the ball and his feet were pedaling in place like a Flintstone as he tried to (a) regain his balance; (b) lunge at the ball.
