After finally finding the park, we warmed up. After warm
ing up, the game started. After the game started, the game ended. After the game ended everyone went home happy, 'cept us. Now to the details...
We think every street in Aldergrove should have an arrow pointing drivers to the correct way to access South Aldergrove Park. As we circled the large park area, every street we took towards it ended in a dead-end, and not the good kind. But ten guys made it to the field by gametime and we were ready to go.

It was a pitchers' duel for the (vast) majority of the game. Kris going the first five innings and Tyler going the final four. Going into the bottom of the seventh up 2-1, the Giants plated two, including a solo homerun that wouldn't have 
made it out of Tamanawis. In the top of the eighth we promptly responded with three runs of our own on several well-hit doubles. According to one Indian it was the best clutch hitting he's seen since ever.

The Giants work the bases loaded, but we have two outs and a two run cushion, so we're alright right? Wrong. The batter crushes one to left that Josh comes close to reeling in but the ball is off the fence. A relay in to home is not in time as the bases are cleared and the game is over.
Final score was 6-5 Giants in a heartbreaking end to the regular season. First playoff game is on Sunday the 19th at Central Park versus the Newton Royals. Gametime is 2pm. The game is scheduled to be Fan Appreciation Day with tickets half-price (and the service charge doubled in compensation).Videos from this game: clay and kris. The video clay & kris is out soon, but you'll have to pay for that one.
Today's iPod.
It's a tie.
In the first inning (first batter?) a Giants batter attempted a bunt that became a soft foul pop-up towards third. Clay emerged from his catcher's squat, took a couple of steps, and lunged to make the catch. Kudos.
In the eighth inning, the homerun hitter was up again. This time he stroked one to deep left centre where Rob hustled back, stole a look at the fence, and stretched out his glove to make the catch and end the inning. Kudos.
