Today sees us on the road in Biloxi to face the Jackals at the Crux Stadium. I am hoping to bring yesterday's form into today's game as the team tries to build on the win.

The manager has decided on the following line-up for our first road game.

LF Angelo Mendoza
2B Casey McCauley
SS Steve Bielecki
1B Chris LaBuff
3B Joshua Mills
DH Joe Van Alstyne
RF Pat Palin
CF Jose Becerra
Catcher Josh Pittman

Pitching for us is Antonio Torres who struggled in his 3.1 innings in the first game of the year.

Top of the First and Angleo Mendoza is up first for us and he puts out a grounder to centre that is fired to first for the out. McCauley flies out but Bielecki gets a base hit into short left. Chris LaBuff gives a solid whack to the ball next up and puts a sinlge over to the left field wall. This sees Bielecki up to third. I am up next. I hit a solid ball out to left field that falls in for a base hit and sees Bielecki home for the teams first run. Van Alstyne follows me up and hits a hopper out to centre but the fielder doesn't have a play so the single sees us load the bases. Palin comes up next and hits a grounder into the infield. The fielder gets it but doesn't get it to first in time. This scores LaBuff and sees me move to 3rd and Van Alstyne to second to have the bases remain loaded. I then come in on the next batter for a run as the Jackals give up a base to Becerra on a walk and the bases remain loaded. Van Alstyne to third and Palin to second. The Jackals give up another run as Pittman gets a walk to score Van Alstyne. Palin moves to third and Becerra to second. Mendoza comes up for his second bat of the inning and hits the ball into Centre field where it lands for a single. Palin and Becerra round the bases and head home to add 2 more runs to the total. McCauley is up next but hits it to Centre field and the fielder takes the second base before Mendoza gets there to finally bring the inning to a close. We lead 6-0 after the top of the first.

Bottom of the first and we don't start well in the field. Eteldrum of the Jackals hits into Centre and the throw to first is wide to allow him to take a single. Palin gets the next on a fly out. We then get Eteldrum as he tries to steal second. I get in on the action as Warsaw hits towards me and I field and throw to first for the out to end the inning.

Top of the Second and Bielecki strikes out as does LaBuff. This brings me up third hoping to add to my RBI single of the first but I go down swinging for a strike out. We still lead 6-0

Bottom of the Second and I field the first hit of the inning and send it to first for the out. Granahan picks up a single. Schulze also gets a single to see Granahan to first after Palin decides not to chance the throw. Palin then gets Hinds, who is up next, on the fly. Our pitcher Torres then loads the bases as he walks Ladewig but gets away with it as he strikes out the next batter to retire the side.

Top of the third and Van Alstyne gets tagged at first after grounding to centre field. Palin gets a walk. Becerra hits a strong single into right field that sees Palin try for third. He beats the throw and sits at third. We get no further as Pittman hits into a double play that sees both himself and Becerra out. We continue to lead 6-0

McCauley gets a single but Bielecki strikes out after the Jackals pull their starter. LaBuff gets a walk and McCauley moves to second as I come up for my third at bat of the game. I hit a solid one over centre but the fielder has the measuree of it and reels it in to retire us. We continue to lead 6-0.

Top of the seventh sees LaBuff ground out to bring me up with an empty diamond. I hit a grounder to third who fires to first to get me.

We take the game 9-4 to pick up our second win. My own game could have been better after going 1-5 with an RBI and a run scored and an error put down to me. Jose Becerra picked up the Player of the Game.
