Ducks on a Roll

We had great week in Belgium for Euro Cup, even though we didn't win. We made it to the championship game and lost. But the team was very welcoming and great host for the tournament. That was a really long bus ride home. The day after was a rainy day and about 53 out. So it was a movie day for sure. 

The weekend after returning we played the Indians at home. They were in first place, so we knew it wasn't going to be easy to sweep them. Clemens threw the best I have seen him throw in a while. We ended up winning that game by mercy rule 12-2. For my game I changed something up. I bought a pair of new baseball pants from Hiro. They are from Japan and are by far the best fitting baseball pants ever. So I wore my pants down which I haven't done in a few years. Stephanie my girlfriend was also there. This was the first time for her to see me pitch. They scored a run in the first and that was all they got all day. My curveball has really been working well. We won 4-1. They were two wins that we really needed. This past weekend we played the Wanderers. They had all their players back. It was a different team then who we saw opening weekend. In game one Christian who is considered one of the best Austrian pitchers threw a no hitter against us. They played really good defense behind him all day. So we lost 6-0. The next game we looked like a different team we started off with two hits and we hit well all game. I felt really good yesterday. I had a no hitter through 5 innings. We won 8-5. They scored a few runs in the last inning off a few costly errors. Stephanie was there again so I told her she has to come to every game now. After the game Hiro said he shouldn't have sold me those pants since I have been pitching well in them. 

This year I am getting to see a lot more and traveling some more. One weekend stephanie and I spent the whole weekend in Vienna just site seeing. One day we went to the zoo, which she loved.  Today Stephanie and I are going to Salzburg, where the sound of music was filmed. Then in a week from now we are going to Venice together. It's making the time here go a lot faster this year. I'm excited because our next home game is when my sister will be here. I am excited to see her and clay again. It will be fun hanging out with them in Vienna. I pray everyone has a blessed day.
