Scrappers win

Mr. B.’s Little League team won its first playoff game this afternoon, beating the Diamond Jaxx 4-3. He hit a double in the third inning and scored the second run. But he struck out his next time at bat, ending the inning with the bases loaded. He swung the bat into the ground, reminding me of some famous pro baller’s remark (I wish I could remember who), that the worst thing about baseball is to strike out looking. At least Mr. B. went down swinging. If the Scrappers win their next game on Saturday… Well, better not to get ahead of ourselves. Today’s win was their first in four games, after all.
