Another NYFA win!

We won again...this time against the dreaded Chang Gang...aptly named after where they work (PF Chang's). They weren't really dreaded...but we knew they were going to be tough competition. We had some great base running and a few good hits during the game to get us much needed runs, but what really helped us out was patience at the plate! The pitcher for their team was a little off tonight (and in this game where you have to actually hit the plate, a little off is a big deal) and we took advantage of that with walks.

By the end of the game we started to feel what I think were the Santa Anna Winds coming in, a warm breeze from the mountain side of the field. This made pitching more difficult as I now had to compensate for the wind, something that can really screw up a high arc slow pitch. Not to toot my own horn too loudly, but I did strike out one of the batters with two beautiful pitches that curved out and were carried back in by the wind to hit the plate for a strike. I just hope it the winds don't pick up any more...it makes my job more difficult...and it's already hard enough having to listen to Chad heckle me the whole game. :-)

Anyway...next week we face a bigger problem...some of our girls play in another league on the same night...they happen to be playing at the same time that we are...if we lose them...we won't have enough girls...and we will have to forfeit the game!!!! :-(

So...don't expect too much from us next week....just wish us luck.
