Yesterday the bus left at 1:30 for Richmond where we played the River Rats. The bus ride wasn't too bad; it was only two and a half hours. After we took batting practice I went on a two mile run with Jack Quigley. During the game JT Miller and I worked the radar gun and charted all the pitchers speeds. The game went well for us because the bats were very hot. Richmond's starting pitcher gave up 10 earned runs in 3 and 1/3 innings. The final score of the game was 16 to 1. Once the game was over they fed us the standard burgers and dogs but they also had some juicy pulled pork. Since the team was driving back to Chillicothe I stayed with Dylan Sheldon who plays for Richmond. His host family was kind enough to let me stay with them.
When we got to his house we both showered and changed and left to go watch the firework show in downtown Richmond. We got there pretty late but it was still a good show. After the fireworks Dylan and I met up with my friend Jalen Hogg who played baseball with me for three years at north central. He lives in Richmond now with his grandparents. After we hung out with Jalen for awhile we went back to Dylan's house and went swimming.
This morning we slept in and didn't get out of bed until noon. So far today we've just been hanging out at the house and have been playing some billiards and ping pong.
