Tuesday, March 10 - Union Bank Indians AAA played their second game of the Mabelvale Pre-Season Tournament against some team with blue uniforms. In the third inning, I was surprised when team manager and grandfather Joe Johnson sent 8-year-old Nathan McFarland to the mound for his pitching debut. It seems the family members in the stands were more nervous than Nathan, for he struck out his first batter - a lefty - and his second batter. The third batter hit a high fly ball to left field, which was unfortunately mishandled, resulting in a base hit. Nathan walked batter #4 before striking out the fifth batter. I've seen experienced pitchers do far worse. Good job, Nate!
