Andrew Earns 3rd Game Ball

Last night the Orioles took on the Tigers in their 5th game of the season. Unfortunately, rain delays caused the game to end short after 2 innings (they say it will be made up later). Captured below is Andrew's only at bat of that game - a swinging bunt single that scored a run.

Today the Orioles took on the Mets for their 6th game of the season (in a close 12-14 loss). Despite a few sprinkles and muggy conditions, the game was completed. Andrew pitched the first inning of the game. Some shaky defense behind him and one walk led to 2 runs for the other team. However, with bases loaded, Andrew hunkered down and struck out the next three hitters to end the side. He played OF, SS and 3B the rest of the game (and made a nice out on a Met trying to steal third base). On offense, Andrew had three hits, including a triple in the 5th inning. He also had a stolen base, scored two runs and had 3 RBI. In fact, he was awarded the Coach's Game Ball once again - the third time out the four games he has played! Unfortunately Dad was too busy score-keeping that we have no video of game 6 (Mom and Abby were at a Scottish Festival for Irish Dance).
