We just can't get a winning streak together. We traveled back to Clarinda, IA to play the A's which we beat 16-8 last time we played them, but couldn't get the big hit with men on base. We are getting better at the plate and our approach is improving. We pitched decent in the game but lost 7-4. I've found that we are not as talented as the other teams, only because we are facing DI talent most of the time. However, these guys are hard working and improving everyday and enjoying their time playing. That's what this summer is all about!
Yesterday, the team traveled to downtown KC and spent the afternoon at the Negro League museum. It was a great look back at US history and how the league began from racism. There were many great players that couldn't play in the big leagues. They played before enormous crowds as those teams had tremendous support from the black community. I read about one white owner who began a team to launder money for a gambling ring, but found he made more money running a legit Negro league team. Great stuff.
We head to Chillicothe, MO tonight to hopefully get back on track. Over the course of the weekend, we have our top three pitchers throwing, all with sub 2.5 ERA. Gives us a good chance to win some ballgames.
