Yesterday the bus left at 10:30 for Slippery Rock, PA. The drive didn't seem too bad but I think it ended up taking around 4.5 hours. We got to the hotel an hour and a half before we had to leave for the park so I just laid in bed and watched That 70s Show. When we got to the ballpark the team took batting practice as after that JT and I went for a run around the campus which is really hilly. There's a good route that is exactly a mile from the field to the top of a big hill with a water tower on top.
In the game our bats were pretty cold and we couldn't hit very well. Our pushing gave up a lot of runs also do it was looking pretty ugly at the beginning of the game. Towards the end of the game however, we made a late run and started to score a lot of runs. We ended up losing the game by one run 11-10. After the game I went home with Cody to his mom's boyfriend's house. It was only like 15 minutes away and it was in the country. It was a good sized log cabin with an attached garage and was very nice. After Cody and I showered Tom ( his mom's boyfriend) made steaks on the grill while his mom prepared a salad and potatoes. It was a very tasty meal and it was a lot better than the pizza I would've had if I was at the hotel with the team. After dinner Tom made a fire in the backyard and we sat and talked for a bit until we went to bed. This morning for breakfast Cody's mom made her own special recipe of French toast with bacon and orange juice. It was definitely one of the best breakfasts that I've had in awhile. After breakfast Cody and I rode around on Tom's four wheeler and after that we just watched tv before we had to leave for the game.
Tom dropped us off at the field before the bus even got there and when Slippery Rock I talked to Michael Chiaro who pitched for them the night before. After our batting practice JT, Chris Thomas, and I went for a run on the same route as yesterday.
Today's game went a lot better and we were hitting the ball really well. We kept tacking on runs every inning and the final score was 10-4. After the game they fed us hot dogs and hamburgers and we showered and now we're on our way back to Chillicothe where I am going to start the next game.
