Wednesday night was a big night. Not only was it Kidzilla's first time pitching in a college game, it was also his first time pitching in a competitive game since TJS, and the first time pitching in a competitive game in over 14 months.
He was understandably nervous, and therefore didn't have his best "stuff". But he still did pretty well:
1.0IP, 0R, 1H, 1K, 1WP
The hit was an dribbler up the middle, just hard enough to make the SS dive for it, which allowed the batter to barely beat it out for an infield hit. The wild pitch was an 0-2 splitter in the dirt blocked out in front of the plate pretty easily by the catcher; but it looked like he forgot how fast the runner was and assumed he wouldn't take off, so he didn't get on it very quickly and by the time he did it was too late. The other two outs were a routine grounder to 3B and a popup to 3B.
Many tears of rejoicing and relief were shed. And the entire dugout ran out to him as he came off the field.
Something to build upon...
