During the last two years, Dallas has experienced drought-like conditions in the spring and summers. So it’s hard for me to complain about the amazing amount of rain we’ve received over the last two months. Nevertheless, it has played considerable havoc with Layla’s softball and Speed’s baseball seasons. Both were supposed to have concluded early this week, but all the rescheduled rainouts have pushed the end date out two weeks–and with 3 games per week. I hope we the games in.
On Tuesday evening, Layla played her first softball game in two weeks. As I was in D.C., and Holly was with Madysen practicing with a prospective new soccer team details are sketchy. They lost 28-6, so I’m sure we are better off without more information.
Speed played the Scots on Wednesday night and won 8-3. He pitched the final inning. He struck out two and go the game ending out when a runner tried to steal home on a passed ball.
On Friday night, he played the ORLS Wildcats. The Knights came from behind to take the lead 7-4 in the top half of the final inning. The Wildcats scored two runs and had a runner on third with 2 outs. Speed was playing catcher, and on a wild pitch, when the runner tried to steal home, Speed tracked down the ball, flipped it to the pitcher covering home who tagged out the runner just in time. Knights win! Knights win! A very exciting ending.
Speed lines out the SS
On Saturday morning, Speed had another game, this time against the Sox. He pitched the first two innings, struggling in the second and getting little help from his defense. He did have three hits, but they lost (8-3) for the first time this season.
