Tuesday Night

With Sujan, Sophie (a student from my class), and her parents

Sophie’s first ever game! It was a beautiful night in Brooklyn and I had a great time at my first Cyclones game of the year.

I learned that Sophie can only have ice cream three times a week and cotton candy once a month or something like that. These are her mom’s rules so when she and her dad went to get food, they came back with Fun Dip, thus not dipping into the ice cream or cotton candy quota. Smart kid.

The game was fairly uneventful until the amazing bottom of the 9th. The game was a scoreless tie with one out when a Cyclones hitter made it to first on a single. He stole second and the throw from the catcher went into the outfield so he easily made it to third. They decided to walk the hitter to set up a force play at second. The Crosscutters’ pitcher threw his first intentional ball over the head of the catcher and the winning run scampered across the plate. Unbelievable! Within two pitches, the winning run had gone from 1st to home on a stolen base, an error, and a wild pitch!

Hooray for Fun Dip!
