Big Kai Hatsu Game





Today we played one of the other company teams here on island. A housing company called Bigkaihatsu located down in Naha city. We eventually one the game 10-5. I came into to pitch with bases loaded and two outs in the top of the 6th. I was blessed to have struck out the next batter on four pitches. I threw the top of the 7th giving up 1 run on 2 hits. The first pitch was knocked into right center for a triple! The first triple I have ever given up in live play! 大丈夫! I went on to retire the next guy, but not before a bloop single scored the run. I finished with 1.1 innings pitched, 2 hits, and 2 k's. God really gave me some great strength and good control! The pitch of the triple I gave up was recorded at 143km(89) on the gun! I haven't thrown that hard since I was 21 in college. The Lord continues to do His work on the field. Please pray for the guys that they would come to know JESUS!
