A Game Three Nail Biter

The boys' third game was a nail biter. We were playing a tough Lake St Louis team who was also undefeated and it went back and forth all night long. The boys' team was up 15-10 going into the last inning and then our lefty pitcher had a bit of a meltdown and the Lake St Louis team ended up scoring the maximum of 7 runs in that inning, making the score 17-15. Our team had one more chance, it was already after 10pm so three runs or three outs would have ended the game. The Cardinals ended up scoring two before the inning ended, which forced the game to end in a 17-17 tie. A tie was appropriate since both teams fought so hard and now both teams are still undefeated. To add additional drama, one of the boys' good friends from Boy Scouts was the opposing teams starting pitcher! The game didn't end until about 10:20 since the last inning took forever, so we are all exhausted today. My throat hurts a little too from cheering so much, 17 runs requires a lot of cheering. Way to Go, Guys!
