Coaches,
We had an interesting week. With our 4 freshmen playing for our first 3 games
we were 1-2. In our first game I pitched and allowed no runs and 1 hit thru 4
innings with 5 K’s and 1 walk. We won the game 5-4. Our second game was called
because of darkness after the 3rd inning with us leading 12-6 and was
“unofficial”. When I pitched I thru 84 pitches so you can tell by the numbers
that we had a few errors. It seemed like I was always pitching out of a jam.
The guys settled down though and we got our coach his first Win at West.

The weekend found us in Jenison and we lost 7-5 to them. I was 2-2 with 2
walks, playing 1B. We played Grand Ledge and were out of pitchers so we started
a freshman. GL was ahead 7-0 before we had an out. I was 0-2 batting and we
lost 15-0 in a mercy game. I didn’t like the feel of that game. I didn’t pitch
because of the 84 pitches 2 days earlier.
Tuesday we played conference games at Gaylord. I pitched the first game and
everything was working. I had a perfect game thru 4 with 6 K’s and coach pulled
me. I needed just one more inning facing the 7,8,9, batters with a 14-0 lead.
My pitch count was in the low 50’s and Coach Bocain did not realize that I
hadn’t given up a hit. My infield was awesome. I think coach felt worse than I
did, but I didn’t say anything before hand because I didn’t want him to think I
was a “me” guy. I was 4-4 in that game. The next game we won 7-1. I was 2-3.
