Well today i FINALLY got to pitch in my first pro game. It was definately exciting. I was nervous as heck goin in. The fist pitch i was nervous as heck, i threw a fastball for strike on the inside corner. After that the newness wore off and the adrenaline kicked in. Pitched 2 innings 6 up 6 down, with 2K's. I was pleasantly surprised to do this good, the hitters are killin the ball for every team out here. I thought i'd be lucky to get out of 2 innings with only 1 or 2 runs scored. But i just stuck to the basics, keep the ball down, fastballs in and out and keep the hitters off balance with breaking balls and it seemed to work. Hopefully i can keep this up, just have to keep working.
Anyways, time to stop bragging, the other exciting thing this week, is i got my first actual paycheck, for the WHOPPING amount of 220 bucks! or... $191.11 after taxes! YES! however banks are closed on weekends so i have to cash it tommorrow. But besides that, all is well, it was only 115 today and It is tons of fun out here. I'll keep you posted!
