First game and part of the second...

Well, first game didnt go as well as it could have. Savginy is one of the top 2 hitting teams in the league and it shows. By my count I have up 2 earned runs in 5 innings although the websites say different. Unfortunate but I'm not here just for numbers. Got to know the team a lot better and had some fun. While there may be something to desire with the defense, it seems like the talent is there, it just needs more intensive practices than twice a week. However, that is impossible for the most part because these guys have full-time jobs. So for now, I'm just gonna go and do what I can, maybe get some hitting in, maybe play some field. Who knows? The second game was canceled in the 3rd due to a pole holding up the backstop falling. There had been very high winds all day and it just kind of broke at the base I guess. That will be made up at a later date I think. Overall, the loss was disappointing but it was a good first experience with French baseball and I made some new friends. Some pics of Avignon and the dogs!
