Game 15 found the Pirates once again facing the first place Cardinals. After our last meeting, the Pirates discovered a quiet confidence that had them currently on a 4-game win streak. The beginning of the game did not dissapoint even the most diehard little league fan, as both teams were held scoreless in the first two innings behind solid pitching and good defense. After the Cardinals struck first blood by scoring one run in the 3rd inning, the Pirates followed by taking a 2-1 lead off an RBI triple by Garrison Thornton. The two teams traded runs over the next couple innings and the Pirates found themselves in the lead late into the fifth inning. However, a couple of untimely errors saw the Cardinals take a one run lead into the last inning. Even though our bats were lively throughout the game, once the Cardinals brought in their closer, we could not must another run and lost the game by one run. All in all, the Pirates must be commended for their effort and determination to compete.
Final Score: Cardinals 6, Pirates 5
