The Orioles get a win!

Peter's baseball team, the Orioles, got their first win today!

Peter spent most of the game at pitcher. This league is still coach-pitch, but there is a position for a kid called "pitcher". Through brilliant coaching (I'm an assitant), the coaching staff decided to change the pitcher position to play on the first base side of the pitcher's mound, and pulled the shortstop in to play forward on the third base side of the pitcher's mound.

In the final inning the score was tied 4-4, and the O's, as visitors, were up first. There were two quick outs, then they rallied somewhat, and were able to score a couple of runs, going up 6-4 before getting the final out.

When the Orioles took the field for the last half inning, they got a quick out, but then allowed a couple of players to get on base, and let a run score, making it 6-5. Then they calmed down. Peter assisted on the last two outs; in both cases, the ball was grounded to him at pitcher, and he made beautiful tosses to the first baseman to finish the play.

I was on pins and needles, but he came through, and the Orioles go to 1 and 4!
