Sennet playing First

Sennet’s Twins played the Cardinals tonight at Meadowbrook. The Cardinals are having a rough season, they’ve only won a single game so far. But it’s those kind of teams that can catch you napping. Luckily that didn’t happen tonight.

They were up to bat first and got two runs, and just like that we were playing catch-up again. It was kind of close the first couple of innings. Owen was pitching and Henry catching, Sennet was on the bench – resting his arm for the later innings maybe. In the third inning Luke pitched and Sennet was catcher. Then in the fifth inning Sennet moved to first base, Henry pitched, and Own was catcher.

At the plate Sennet struck out his first time up, but it was a dropped third strike and he beat the throw to first so he was safe. Then promptly stole second and third before the inning was over, stranding him at third. His second time up he walked, again stole second, and then scored a run on a hit by someone else. Third time up he hit his third home run of the season. Another shot over the first baseman’s head down the right field line. This time there was not even a play at the plate and he ran in standing up. Henry had been on first, so it was a two-run shot. His fourth time up he hit a solid shot into right field, but the outfielder made a really good play and caught it.

Solid game, fun times. Twins won 14-7.
