After Jack's dismal pitching performance last week, I didn't expect him to start or pitch for a while but the coach tapped him to be the starter the next game.
Jack started off shaky. It looked like he was nervous from the last outing and he struggled in the first inning, giving up a few runs while striking out the side:
Jack also ended his 3 game hitting streak as he failed to get a hit this week and walked twice:
In the second inning, a teammate suggested to Jack that he chews 'gum' he helps get the aggravation out. Jack doesn't even chew gum! Any ways, he was chomping away on his gum and he was firing away. He made quick work of the batters he faced and struck out the side:
Poor dad....I was so nervous watching him. Half the time I had my head buried in my hands either from disgust watching him walk people or jump out to an 0-2 count only watch him throw 3 ball in row for a full count AND then strike the batter out.
I am just glad Jack bounced back today. He definitely had a little pep in his step after the game.
