Remember that really fun first game of the day? I would suggest going back and reading the blog from that one, because the second game of the day might have been the longest, hottest, stinkiest, most painful game of the summer. Oh, it was also a 19-6 victory, so it couldn't have been all that bad (yes it was).
The game was limited to four innings by the mercy of our friend the timer, which actually went off three times during the game, apparently trying to tell everyone it was well past time for this particular game to be over. The offense did come to life somewhat after the struggles in the earlier game, banging out a dozen hits and getting eight walks and a hit batter to go with the hits.
Two more games of pool play remain on Saturday morning before bracket play gets going on Sunday.
First inning
Jake walked and Gavin clubbed a dinger. Drew walked. Chace singled. Colin's fly to center dropped, scoring Drew. Chace went to third on a wild pitch and then just kept running all the way to the plate. Bryce and Brady walked. JT singled home a run. Andrew's fly to right fell and scored two. A wild pitch scored Andrew.
Score after one-half inning: Canes 8, Youngsville 0

Elias pitched a solid inning and two thirds in relief.
Colin and Brady finished it up in the fourth.
Dugout wisdom
At a moment when there was nothing happening (there were a lot of those moments), Gavin and Bryce were sitting on the bench with Ben on the bucket in front of them.
"You know," Gavin observed, with this being the sixth year he has played with Ben, "I never noticed this. His last name could be St. Ahlman. He's a saint."
