It’s been a long long time objective in any home and away series, regardless of which sport… that you want to win the one at YOUR house and hope for a tie at “their” house… (sorry, the “tie” comes from my soccer days…)… well no one mentioned this “objective” to the Carson High or Damonte Ranch High Varsity Baseball teams this past home and away series. They split the series, Carson winning @ Damonte and Damonte winning today @ Carson. That’s backwards fellas….
Today was not really a very pretty game for Carson… I’ve seen a fair amount of baseball, I’ll never proclaim to know much of anything about the game having never played even 1/3 of an inning in my entire life… but Damonte played an interesting game today… it all keyed on getting on base with little bunts and pushing hard for base advancements… ehhh, you learn something new every day… and it makes the game a lot of fun for me, I get to learn new things every time I go out to the park!
Here’s some action from the day… check out the rest in the gallery under Carson High Athletics.
Start it off with how it finished… Drew closing out the game on the mound…
Brock throwing for the double play…
Dion laying down a sacrifice bunt…
Here’s my “… I don’t know anything about baseball…” disclaimer… I just like the photos because the ball and the bat are about to get together for a meeting… … going back to my not knowing anything about anything with playing the game… and I once had a Little League coach explain that some of the best hitters aren’t watching the ball hit the bat… and I REALLY don’t understand how people CAN hit the ball without watching the ball hit it… (I remember what not watching the ball when I kicked it resulted in playing soccer… I was lucky if I didn’t hurt myself…) but…
Austin making contact…
And TJ late in the game for a hit…
