I'm here for the ride regardless and am pulling for them on every pitch. I just am not optimistic.

Announcer says "Tygart has been magnificent." Hell, if Futrell was pitching to Little League talent he'd look Magnificent too.

And just like that, McKenzie actually hits one.

Boy, I should have called the Little Leaguers earlier. Bradfield with a bomb. 3-2 now.

Good to see Bradfield get one.

Especially going the opposite direction.

Our pitchers give up more 2 strike hits….
And we still haven’t gone out to calm him down.

Coaches gotta coach.

It was really important to hold them after we clawed within 1. But we didn’t.

At least we held them to 1.

Bats they are sick. I can not hit curveball. Straight ball I hit it very much. Curve ball bats are afraid. I ask Jobu come, take fear from bats. I offer him cigar and rum. He will come

It is refreshing not to be walking so many. 1 walk and 8 K's for Futrell. They put in new pitcher.

Futrell has had an odd game. He has been very, very good for stretches and then throws batting practice for a bit.

We have 2 hits they happen to be HR, but I don't care if Nolan Ryan is pitching. That ain't gonna win with metal bats.
