Still Going!!! - REVISED

Another successful outing by our "Beloved" Petaluma Nationals All Stars!

The game against Alameda got off to a slow start when the batter's box had to be altered after our lead-off batter was walked. But our boys learned early that measurement is not the key to the game. Our opponent was clearly a head taller than us (who knows what they are feeding those kids in Alameda!)  But we proved mightier!  In a game that was a much harder-won battle than the final score would indicate, the Petaluma team took a 14-4 win in 5 innings (another example of the mercy rule.)



Robert, playing right field, made a game-changing play by robbing the opponent of a multi-run homer to end the 4th inning, and was awarded the game ball.  Our hero! 

We return to Lafayette again Tuesday at 6:00pm.  May the force be with us!
