Kyle’s team went up against a tough South Highline National LL Marlins. An absolute nail-biter right to the last play. Final score was Cardinals 7 and the Marlins 5. After two scoreless innings we broke it open with a run, followed by a GRAND SLAM from Matt to put us up 5-0, the Marlins didn’t give up though and came back at the bottom of the inning for 4 runs of their own. Thanks to some great hits from DJ, Spencer, Calvin, Matt and Ethan N. and some super tough defense we held them off. One big defensive play, the Marlins hit to first and the runner beat the ball to the bag, the runner at second tried to steal third and Calvin fired it right back at Kyle who made the tag on the slide to nail the runner. And in the acrobatic catch of the night, DJ made an awesome diving catch into a roll out in left field to make the catch on a high line drive. This game went right down to the end as the Marlins, down by two runs, 2 runners on base, two outs and the last batter for the Marlins popped up towards third and Kyle was there to make the game ending out!
My grandmother (Kyle’s great-grandmother) got to attend the game tonight, and was thoroughly impressed not only by the game itself, but the boys themselves, their sportsmanship, camaraderie and enthusiasm and they truly are a very special and awesome bunch of kids and I think all of the parents would agree that you couldn’t have asked for a better bunch of kids and it made for a truly enjoyable season for all involved! Combine that with the fantastic coaches (Dave, Greg, Scott and Bob) and an awesome group of parents that made this season a true blast and one that the kids will remember for a lifetime!
Go Cardinals and major kudos to the Renton Little League!!!!!!!!!!!!
