I think many factors but the most important being - they were a LOT better than us.
Perhaps a few excuses... I think the bus ride there took a lot out of them. Never seen us come anywhere near missing as many shots as we did in this game. My grandson got some pretty good playing time, and did well. Had a steal, two assists.
Good news is... it's now officially baseball season.
BTW... found a 'strange' book, (the subject matter), while browsing Amazon books and bought it... it's a 'whodunit' but get this... it's set in 1958 and revolves around the Giants, and Dodgers somewhat.... about a body found in the stands on the first game of the season and the story plays out over the entire season, using the real season as the backdrop. Might be interesting. Won't be reading it for a while, however, as I have 2 other books to get through before I can begin. - JamesJM
