So far we are 2 and 2.  The two wins were against all-star teams from Caguas, and the two losses were against all-star teams from San Juan.  Daniel went 1 for 3 last night with a triple, and has been busy in left field.  It is a beautiful island, and we have practiced on several of the major league winter ball stadiums.

It was a great day today.  Daniel started on the mound for game 1, and did really well.  We played against a different all-star team from San Juan, and split the double header.  We lost the game Daniel pitched but he pitched two shutout innings, and had one rough one.  He had 3 k's, and 1 BB, and gave up about 6 hits.  We lost 12 to 8, and Daniel went 1 for 1 with a walk.  The second game we won 10 to 9, making our record so far, 3 wins and 3 losses.  The second game D went 1 for 2, making him 3 for 10 for the trip, or a .300 batting average.  Tomorrow we go back to Roberto Clemente Walker stadium for practice.

We played one game tonight, a seven inning game against the San Juan Yankees.  We lost 12 to 8, making our record 3 wins and 4 losses.  Daniel went 1 for 2, with a walk, bringing him to 4 for 11 so far.  We finish out tomorrow, and visit Caguas again.  It has been a great trip, and we have met people from all over the country.  They love our accent, but it's them that have an accent, especially the ones from Maine, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Well it has been a busy, yet fun-filled week and it is hard to believe it is over.  We played a double-header last night against the Caguas Athletics, and we won both finishing out the week 5 wins and 4 losses.  Daniel played all but about 4 innings total, and finished strong at the plate.  He was 2 for 3 the first game, with a triple and 2 runs scored.  We won that game 17 to 0.  The second game he went 1 for 2, with an RBI.  The best I can tell he went 7 for 15 (.466) for the tourney, with 2 triples, 4 k's, and 4 BB's.  He pitched 3 innings, taking a loss, but getting 3 k's, and giving up 6 hits, and 1 BB.
