Single up the middle. Ended up going 3-11 on the weekend, with good contact. I put a ball in play every at bat, which helped get our team some runs. I had 4 rbi’s on the weekend.

Played well defensively this weekend behind the plate and at 1st base. I threw out a runner, lots of blocks behind the dish, and stole some strikes. Here are throw downs to second and third

Had a great weekend in Columbus, we made it to the championship but we had to settle with co-champions due to weather. I went 5-12 at the plate with 4 RBIs and got some work in catching and at first base.
