Irish Battle Undefeated Springfield

Although Springfield remains undefeated, they had to work for it.
The Irish opened up with blazing bats and some real hussle around the bases.
It was good to see them off to such a strong start. They had heard of Springfield's strength from Irish Green's loss, and maybe felt these guys were not human in their skill as ballplayers. Not so. We raced to a 3-0 lead in the first inning and maintained a strong defense up until about the 3rd inning. Springfield rallied back with some strong bats and fast wheels. We had some difficulties with fielding that helped them get ahead and quickly out of reach. Dylan and Jackson had some amazing catches in the outfield that proved to boost the whole team, parents included.
Final 20-8.
We'll get 'em next time.
