Quick update -
First game against the Phillies. Started off by giving up 4 runs. Down 4, in the bottom of the 1st, our leadoff hitter struck out, then I singled, stole second and a few batters later, we scored 7. By the time we were done, final score Pirates 16 - Phillies 6. Mercy rule - yes!
Second game against Yankees #1, the favorite to win the tournament. They are loaded. We scored first, I was hit by a pitch, stole second, and came home on a single by Mike Labonowski. The Yankees tied the score and eventually went ahead 2-1. First thought, here we go again, a one run loss. However, in the 6th inning, we scored 3 runs. I plated the last run with a sacrifice fly to left center field.
Beating the Yankees was the highlight of the weekend for Roy Berger, who attends the Yankees camp.
With the win, the Pirates have locked up the #2 seed for the final tournament day. We will need to win 3 games on Monday, Game times, 8:00 am, 11:00 am, and the Championship at 1:30 pm. Single game elimination on Monday - need to win 3. The goal is still a possibility.
