Jonah, the baseball beat writer . . .

This morning Jonah read the complete article in the paper on the victory that the Oregon Ducks baseball team had over Vanderbilt yesterday. Tonight when I got home from work, he got a game going between the Ducks and the “Detroit Lakes,” a team name taken from a t-shirt I have from the 50th anniversary of a mountain town, Detroit, here in Oregon.

So, tonight it was the Ducks vs. The Lakes. The first image below is from our recent trip to PK Park to watch a game and the rest are of Jonah practicing the ancient art of beat writing, following a game. After that, his story, unedited. Enjoy!

 

Ducks v. Lakes at PK Park

The Ducks were having a great night here at PK Park on Monday night. Jimmie Sherfy struck out 1 batter in the 1st.

Well, Scott Hineman  scored a Run though! & there was this crazy play where Billy Kidonksky (for Detroit lakes) said “I got it I got it I got it!” but he did not get the ball, it hit  Ryon Healy in the helmet and Healy was safe at 1st.

Now in the 2nd Inning Jeff Cole (the 3rd baseman) was up & he gave up a HOME RUN!!!!!!!

In the 3rd  Inning the catcher Vikopolop Saweret  got ready to tag Hineman but he slid right under the tag

Now in the 4th Brett Thomas gave up another HOME RUN!!!!!!!
