The fourth and last pool game for the Dixie Indians was against the Las Vegas Frozen Ropes. Evan was the starting pitcher and started the 1st inning strong with 3 strike outs. The Indians then drew first blood and scored 2 runs.
The Frozen Ropes were able to score during the 2nd inning while the Indians were getting their 3rd out with a great relay from Drew in center field to Braxton, who had rotated to 2nd, and tagged the player on the slide. The Indians were unable to score in the 2nd inning, yet were still up by 1.
The 3rd inning in the field was tough on the Indians. Tyler Wardell started the inning as pitch. With the bases loaded, Justice came in to relief Tyler and worked hard to prevent more runs. Justice was tough under the pressure but ultimately, the Frozen Ropes would score 3 during the inning off of a walk, a bach, and a flyball. The Indians were now down by 2. A great defensive play during the inning came from Drew with a throw from center field to Gavin at home just in time to tag out a base runner and save a scored run.
Not to be out-done in the 3rd inning, the Indians battled hard to score 3 runs and go up by 1. The score was now 5 to 4 for the Indians.
During the 4th inning, Justice threw a great inning, despite the unsportsmanship from the Frozen Ropes who chanted at Justice during his wind-up. Undaunted, Justice had 2 strike outs during the inning. Evan fielded a ground ball for the other out, to shut-out the Frozen Ropes for the inning. In the Indians up to bat, Jordan had a single to right field and was then able to score by a steal on a passed ball and then by being advanced by hits from KJ and Drew with the RBI. The score was now 6 to 4 for the Indians.
Knowing this was their last time at bat, the Frozen Ropes fought hard during the top of the 5th inning. The 1st batter hit a fly ball to Dylan at right field who caught it for the out. The next batter was hit by a pitch and advanced to 1st base. The 3rd batter hit a pop fly to shallow right field and Jordan moved out to make the catch. With 2 outs, the Frozen Ropes caught a little luck when a hard grounder to Jordan at 2nd took an ugly hop, and got passed him, allowing a run to score. The score was now 6 to 5 for the Indians.
The Frozen Ropes soon found themselves in position to tie the game, and possibly go up by one with runners at 3rd and 2nd base. The next batter hit a hard line drive up the 3rd base line. It looked like a winning hit but their hopes were quickly dashed when Evan lept into the air and snagged the line drive to end the exciting game. Way to go E!
The Indians won the game to go 4 and 0!
