10-8 win
What a fun ride it has been for the Diamond Dawgs! Jeff started this team 11 years ago when Jens was just nine years old. He continued the team on for Cade. Last night they played their last game together as a team. A couple of the kids will be going to Spanish Fork and the others will try out for freshmen baseball in Salem this coming spring.
It was a great way to retire the Dawgs! They had played well all season long and made it to the tournament. They made it to the final UPG Championship game against Wasatch. The Dawgs came out ready to play and in no time at all, it was the fifth inning and the score was 9-0 for us! One more point and we'd win! Luke Degraffenreid, who had pitched all game long was tired and needed to be replaced. Kyler Baum went in. Wasatch had his number picked and in NO time at all, they were hitting balls like they were coming off a tee. They scored 6 runs, partially in part to errors on our part, in one single inning. Their mouthy coach got tossed (we were all happy to see that) and we ended up taking the win with a score of 10-8.
One thing I won't forget about his game is the incredible play that Cade made at first. A line drive ball was hit hard to right field. With cat like reflexes, Cade reached out and snatched that ball right out of the air, making a great out!
Cade has grown so much this past year and gotten so much stronger and faster. He has improved so much on his playing ability. I have loved seeing him progress and I have loved watching him play!
