At Bat- Tristan struck out again but he fouled off a couple this time. And I think the strike 3 call was a little iffy. The Scrapers threatened again but were not able to score.

Tristan did well in his first game, against the NESALL Dodgers.  He didn’t get any hits, but his first time out he fouled off 5 straight pitches before hitting one.  Unfortunately it went straight to the second baseman, as did his hit the second time he was up.  Still he was making good contact with the ball, which is encouraging.

In the field he played left field and short stop.  At short stop he caught a line drive and fielded a ground ball.
