Yesterday marked our final game as the 2008 Diamondbacks.  As the sun fell on the day and the season, the visiting White Sox would end up taking the contest 14-1.

1st Inning

The Diamondbacks took to the field first and had a tough start. Nick took one off the mound and threw over to Adam for an out, but five runs came across during the 1st.

Nick and Brad both singled, but we didn’t score during our half of the inning.

2nd Inning

Nick (at third) made a cool throw to Adam (at second) to get a sweet out. Adam also took a bounder and got an unassisted out at 2nd, tagging the base before the runner.

Our 2nd inning highlight featured Seb’s long shot into right center for a beautiful single.

3rd Inning

The D-Backs defense held pretty tight during the third. Nick took two unassisted outs at first, making them look easy. Emma snatched a high pop at second for a really nice play.

No D-Backs reached base during the third.

4th Inning

Emma pitched decently before tiring, but the ‘Sox tagged got five runs. Adam got an unassisted out at first during the inning.

Emma singled (into center field) and Ryan also got a nice hit in the 4th.

5th Inning

The fifth inning featured Dylan D, who pitched and didn’t give up any runs. He also had two snared off the mound with super throws to Adam at first (one was a very entertaining throw from the ground, and the other just quick throw right on target). Emma also had a nice scoop at shortstop and got the runner out after the long throw to Adam.

During our last time on offense, we squeaked a run with singles from Seb, Dylan V, and Kyle.

End Notes

Adam, Emma, and Nick all did a good job! Dylan D had a great last inning and Seb had two nice hits. The blogger especially loved the young players, who’ll take over the reins next year, with their efforts as they got some hits during the last ups.
