Watched the second Athletics-Cupids game, and for the most part, both starting pitchers were basically very good, or had moderately good defense behind them for much of the game. At least in terms of being able to keep runs off the board, anyway, that is.
There was some sloppy play by Willson early on, but the Cupids couldn't take advantage. Leem didn't allow a hit until Arnold hit a leadoff double in the top of the fifth. For the most part, Folliston's defense was very good, until the last two innings, when they got a little sloppy. That led to the run for the Athletics in the ninth to tie the score briefly.
Except for the bit of sloppy play during the game, it was a fairly well-played game by both teams. Hopefully both teams will play better, as the season progresses, of course.
Expect another recap with the April 12 game between the Athletics and Cupids, if at all possible, folks. In the meantime, I'll close this post with a few screenshots. CD out.
P.S. Willson's Weghorst went 0-3 with a strikeout and one LOB, and his BA is .139 with no home runs and two RBI so far this season.
Folliston's Huang went 1-3 with a run scored and one left on, and he's batting .310 with no home runs and two RBI so far this season, just in case you can't tell easily enough here with the box score. He scored the first Folliston run after first getting a base hit, then advancing to second on an error by Hartonen on a pickoff throw. Chang knocked him in with an RBI single.
That's all for now on this post, I think, folks. CD out.
