A couple of interesting games for the Bears today.

Reid Fults, Ryan Carline and Brandon Humphrey were outstanding on the mound today.  Bear pitching struck out 13 Caney Creek batters and 11 Porter batters.  For the most part the defense was solid. Zach Droulliard and Ryan Carline made some great catches in the outfield while Alex Blem made an outstanding sliding catch on a foul ball in front of the dugout.

LCM beat Caney Creek 3-2 and Porter 5-1.

Some highlights, first game against Caney Creek.
In the bottom of the 1st, Ryan Carline hits a 3B and goes all the way home on an error.

In the top of the second with one out, the second CC batter hits a double but gets called out for batting out of order.  He then goes back to the plate where he K's for the third out.

In the bottom of the second the Caney Creek catcher misses the pitch which hits the umpire who double over.  An obviously annoyed and hurting umpire asks the catcher in a loud voice "what are you doing".  Inaudible answer from the catcher but the umpire demands that the lights be turned on.  Umpire earns the nickname "Gutshot".

Greg Maddux was pitching for Caney Creek.  Or at least I thought he was.  Umpire kept calling pitches that were 6 inches below the knees and 6 inches off the plate strikes.  The Caney Creek pitcher WAS consistent like Greg Maddux in that aspect though.  He did pitch a very good game and went all 8 innings.

In the top of the 3rd CC ties the game at 1-1 on a BB and a 2B.

In the top of the 8th, CC player hits a triple then later scores.  CC goes up 2-1.

In the bottom of the 8th with 1 out, James Swan gets HBP.  Zach Droulliard hits a hard ground ball to the 3rd baseman who can't handle it, so we have runners on 1st and 2nd.  During the pitch sequence to Reid Fults the catcher decides to try and pick off Swan at 2nd base and proceeds to throw the ball into centerfield.  Somehow the ball got past the centerfielder when he came in to get the overthrow.  The ball then traveled halfway to the fence (ball was thrown harder than it look).  Swan scored.  Droulliard was waved on at third and scored all the way from first.  The catcher decided to completely block home plate at the last second even though he didn't have the ball and looked really aggravated when Droulliard collided with him.  Umpire tells catcher to chill out.  Bears win 3-2.

The Bears beat Porter in the second game 5-1.  Bears were visitors.

Top of the 1st.  Bears had a runner at 2nd.  Ball is hit in the infield and the runner at second tries for 3rd.  Ball is thrown to 3rd, runner slides and is called safe by Gutshot who is now on the bases.  Bears catch a break on the call.  The Porter coach protests a little too vigorously and is asked to confine his activities to the dugout.  Runner eventually scores putting Bears up 1-0.

Porter ties the came in the bottom of the 2nd 1-1.

Top of the 4th Brandon Humphrey doubles on a rainmaker which fortunately didn't actually bring any rain. Shea Richards singles and goes to 2nd on the throw back into the infield. Connor Jaynes (running for Humphrey) slips on the wet grass after rounding 3rd and twists his knee.  He did get back to third but had to leave the game.  Hopefully he will be alright.  With runners on 2nd and 3rd, Kevin Adams hits a line drive into centerfield that the centerfielder dove for and missed.  Kevin circles the bases and the Bears go up 4-1.

In the top of the 7th Ryan Carline singles and then steals 2nd.  He scored on James Swan's single.

Humphrey strikes out the side to end the games.  Bears win 5-1.

Hopefully Westbrook can get a game or two in today. I hear that not much rain in the Greater Houston area up till now..
