Well, its finally here ‘folks, the very first provincial game of the 2009 Major All-Stars. It’s insanely muggy at an approximate 30 degrees. Today’s game will be Hastings (Away) versus Coquitlam (Home)
As the teams warm up, the flies are constantly landing on the legs of the spectators. The families and friends of the players are winners to endure these conditions.
The winner of the Provincials will go on to play in the Canadians in Quebec, and the winner of that will play in the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
It’s the top of the 1st inning, and after a nice hit by Ryan, Ian attempts to steal home, but gets out. Ryan is now at 3rd, with Anthony up to bat. Anthony is battling for a hit, with 2 strikes and a ball. He strikes out for the 3rd out.
Ryan is the starting pitcher for Hastings, and the bottom of the 1st is shortly followed by an out at first. Then, followed by another out by Christian in the outfield. Ryan W gets the last out at first.
The top of the 2nd inning has no runs, no hits, and no men on base for Hastings.
The bottom of the 2nd has Ryan pitching again, and the score is still 0-0. A nice play by Taz in right field makes the first out. Anthony makes a great play, with a crazy catch by Katie for the second out. Taz catches the last out. Ryan is at 16 pitches.
Lighting is eminent throughout the sky occasionally, making the pressure and anxiety of the game even scarier. Ryan W is out at first for the top of the 3rd. There is now 2 outs, with Nick up to bat. (Ryan W was out) The flashes of lightning are starting to scare the spectators. Nick was safe at first just as the thunder rumbled. Ryan is final out. Again, there were no men on base and no runs for Hastings.
It’s already the bottom of the 3rd. These innings are going by fast due to the great plays being made by both teams. Ryan starts it off with a great fast-pitch strike.
And the game stops again for a lightning break. Anthony seems to be okay from tripping at first base.
Thor is angry today. The lightning is crazy.
The game is cancelled. Hastings versus Layritz will be as scheduled.
