Prospect United had their first scrimmage of the year on Sunday. They played MVP (Maple Valley Pony) at Tahoma High School in Maple Valley (about 45 min SE of Seattle). Sennet had a great game, and Stacie got a ton of great pictures.

After starting the game in center, Sennet pitched the second inning – and was really good. He did give up a couple hits, but they got no runs and he struck out two batters. (Of all their pitchers today, he was the only one not to give up any runs.)

In the third inning he played shortstop, and had a nice play where it was a squib hit sort of in front of the baserunner on second, and Sennet had to go around the runner, get the ball, and turn and fire it to first to get the out. Tough play, well executed.

The rest of the game he played catcher, and had a good, solid game back there.

At the plate, he only got up to bat twice. First time up he was really nervous and didn’t make a big effort and struck out. Next time up he worked the count full and then hit a sharp grounder that the second baseman scooped up to throw him out at first. He’s had a bit of a block on batting for a while, so to see him have a quality at bat and hit the ball into the field was a great stride forward.

Prospect ended up losing, but it was good to see the kids get out on the field and play some ball, even a scrimmage, after months of just practice.
