Today found the Demons with another early start at Trinta Field, where the sun was low and warm on the horizon. Verun B. took the mound to start the game against the Redwood City Blue Devils (ok, we have no idea what their name was - they were from Redwood City, they were wearing blue (high end uniforms, too!). Despite assurances from the San Mateo Parks Department that there'd be an abatement on early Saturday morning sprinklers, the field was a muddy mess but the boys and coaches valiently took the field. Verun K. surprised everyone in his first start - his very first start, EVER - by fanning three of four batters at the top of their line-up! Unfortunately, the Demons' bats weren't hot this morning - the boys are getting a trip to the batting cage this week!

Despite the lack of offensive luster, both Zack and Ted (the team rabbits) found themselves on base a couple of times with Wyatt and Sam getting a couple of impressive smacks on the ball. Sam looked impressive behind the plate and at shortstop. Wyatt, Miles, and Zack each had good inning as relief pitchers. Adam and Verun B. both struggled with a rough innings and each showed tremendous poise working through their innings.
