I went to Joc's game at Dundalk Community College today. It was a double-header. Mike, Rita and Mom and Dad went too. They split the games - Dundalk won the first game, 9 - 1, and HCC won the second, 6 - 4. Jocelyn went 1 for 2 with a single in the first game and 2 for 4 with two singles in the second game. Her batting average was .373 after this game. It was perfect baseball weather - about 75 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. The umpires were less than perfect. In the first game, they called a Harford base runner out at third who looked safe from where we were sitting. The umpire must have had an obstructed view. Or he's blind. Then Harford was hitting with two outs when the umpire suddenly called three outs. Apparently, the opposing coach had made a mistake filling out his line-up card, he swapped the numbers 6 and 9, and said that Harford had batted out of turn. I don't know what happened but it seemed like Harford was cheated out of an at bat. And then later, the other coach wanted the same batter called out ever time her turn at bat rolled around. That's when the crowd started getting restless. Anyway, the whole thing was bullshit. Jocelyn was not a happy camper.
