Chiang Mai Day 4---More Highs and Lights with a little Ups and Down

Day 4--The body started wearing in and more has accustomed to the climate of dry and cool weather. Good sign.
2 games for the Junior Team (CUBS) and 1 for the Senior Team (LYNX). The score does not tell much. The score sheet does. The 2 games that the CUBS have are expected to be lost. Game 1 CUBS vs Chiang Mai University--2:12. Gme 2 CUBS vs Raffles A--0:20. If I put a big full stop here, it will definitely invite a lot of "hoo" and "haa" and punctuation !!??!????!! just looking at the score. I will spare the details again. Just want to summarise the game (as I have more High and Lights to tell.) Good Games for both. Objective achieved.

The game that the Lynx played was spectacular. It has come to almost autorun. Hits and Hits and Hits. Run and Run and Run. These are the words for the offense. 1-2-3 out and 1-2-3 out. These are the words for the Defense. Highlights ? High first--We Took a lead of 11-2 with superb hitting and rally. Ka Yue send a solo home Run in the 4th inning bring the team to another high . Lights ? I rest my pitcher for more games ahead and fielded my relieve pitcher. With few runs coming and a few errors, I contemplated, change my pitcher back? Relax, we were still leading. Trust the fielder. And I bet on the right side. We won thanks to the big buffer created by the superb batting rally. Way to go B Div 2009.
It was me that has my own high. By the time the 3 games have finished, I was left with chance to compete with my Own Team O'Boyz. Coach put me first base. 2nd Batter after Edmund. Got on base by error for first at bat. Ground out to 2nd base for next at bat. experience and nolstalgia? Priceless. O'Boys won the game. Yeah! They are in through 2nd round.
I will want the Lynx to go through to 2nd round tomorrow. So far with 2 wins, chances are high. But the next game will be tough. So what? It was as if we had never had tough game before. Press on. First game at 8am tomorrow ZZZzzzz. It will be Bbrrrrrrrr.... cold.
