Final Spring Training Game

The club let me start the final game of the spring at home. It felt like a career moment pitching in front of the home crowd in Le Diamant. My family was there rooting me on. Alize and a few of her girlfriends were in the crowd, too. At first it was distracting but by the 2nd inning I was settled in.
I retired the first 6 batters in a row so I was off to a good start. Most of the Fountain Bleu line-up are considerably more senior than I so I was happy with my results. I almost escaped with just 2 runs scored on me but our reliever in the 6th gave up a few hits that scored base runners that I was responsible for as I gave up a single and my only walk of the day.
Coach Donovan Riviere complimented me on my 50/74 strike to pitch ratio (I didn't even know they tracked that type of data).
Here is the box score. I'll have more information to share after I pack up and catch the team bus to Basse-Pointe. Thanks, everyone, for joining me in Spring Training 1962.
