14-2 and 15-0 yesterday. We stand two wins away from the state championship and a trip to Idaho for regionals.

Tim's hitting woes continued, as he was 3-for-5 at the plate with a single and two ground-rule doubles.

...do the Mariner's have a scout in the stands? He could start for that team now.

Yes, I know that's not a struggle for many, but one of his outs was a strike out swinging, his first such event in almost 80 All-Star at-bats...

...but think how happy he made the opposing pitcher. That's like a single-block "roof" of Klineman.

and one of his doubles came when he couldn't execute a bunt on two occasions, against a team we were bunting to make outs against, then swung away when he misinterpreted the coach's sign.

...bunting to make outs? For what purpose? Like trying to make outs? If so that coach has gotta go. And no misinterpetation of the signal. He blew the coach off and tell him to keep doing it. The kid's hittin .600 and given the sign to bunt?

On the mound, he threw 2 1/3 innings with a hit and walk, five Ks and no runs. He threw his knuckleball for the first time in competition and it looked good (he also has a change up and two fastballs -- I won't allow curves until he's at least 13).

...what's the fastball clocked at? He's really striding out in that picture.
