The Rockies take out the Braves with help from Daniels, 10-6

Jacob played baseball this year - U12 (that's up to 12-year olds, and includes some kids that recently turn 13-years old this Spring).  The team was called the Rockies.  For most of the season, Jake played first base.  That's where you put the big kid who can mash the ball.  On most other teams, Jake would be considered young, but this team is mostly 11-year olds.  So Jake is on the older/bigger side.

The Rockies finished the season 10-8-1, and were seeded #5 for the End of Season Tournament (which is going on now).  Long story short, Jacob had a great game last night.  I happen to keep the stats on my iPhone - scoring the game.  This also provides a GAMECAST on the web that almost anyone can follow.  One of the cool things is that the scoring application provides an end of game recap that reads like a real newspaper article.  Jacob had a huge game and factored prominently in the newspaper recap the game scoring application generated (I've pasted what it assembled about Jacob below).

I want to point out that after Jake hit a triple his first time up, he technically "singled" the second time up, but I have to provide a little color.  Jake crushed the ball and blasted it out to left field.  It was clutch because there were 2-outs and we needed to get a hit to prevent the umps from starting another inning.  Jacob, like any highly paid athlete, crushed the ball and then jogged to first admiring his work as the ball blasted off towards the fence in left field.  He thought it was going to easily clear the fence and didn't seem to be in any hurry to run.  Instead wanting to watch the ball clear the left field fence for a HR.  Sadly, the ball caught the top part of the fence and fell in play.  The left fielder picked up the ball and threw it in to hold Jake to a meager single.

Here's the recap from the scoring application-
Jacob Daniels went 2-2, helping the Rockies to a 10-6 victory over the Braves on Wednesday at Fenway.

He tripled in the second inning and singled in the fourth inning. The Rockies never surrendered the lead after the first inning, scoring two runs on an RBI double by Matt Freeman and an error.

After pushing across one run in the top of the second, the Braves faced just a 2-1 deficit. An error fueled the Braves' comeback.

The Rockies answered the Braves' top inning with five runs of their own in the second. The Rockies scored on an RBI single by Jason Malmquist, an RBI triple by Daniels, a passed ball, a steal of home by Rashad Carter, and an error.

After a quick strike from the Braves, the Rockies responded with one run in the third. The Rockies scored on a steal of home by Aydon Holley.

Four runs in the top of the fourth helped the Braves close their deficit to 8-6. A passed ball, an RBI single by Ellysa B, a passed ball, and a steal of home by Nico G gave the Braves life.

The Rockies added two more runs in the bottom of the fourth. The inning looked promising, as Daniels singled, scoring John Lerma to kick things off. That was followed up by a steal of home by Daniels that scored Daniels
