Hi Folks!
Once again the Sharks had a great game! More about that below but 1st a housekeeping matter.
You may have noticed that we rotated player's positions last night. Since we have a 15 player roster and there are twice as many outfield positions in Coach Pitch as infield, and with a 10 game season, we're basically rotating from deep outfield to shallow outfield to infield. This way everyone gets a chance to play infield and outfield but spends enough time at a position to get the hang of it.
Which they are! Excellent infield play from Antonio, Ella, Karl, Christian, and Jack! Great play guys (and Ella - fantastic stop b/t 1st and 2nd, that ball was hit hard enough to be a triple or a homerun - smokin - and she held the runner at 1st! Awesome play Ella!)
We also continue to be a team of hitters and base runners! Never ending flow of base hits last night - Christian, Antonio, Saraia (who knew such a little girl could hit so hard, when she T's it up watch out!), Ben, Karl, Jack and Ella. Big hits are fun to watch but its solid base hitting & running that really wins your games. Excellent!
Speaking of big hits, we have those too. If I remember correctly - Doubles from Joey, Jackson & Braden - a Triple from Charlie - and another Homerun from Jed. Great hitting guys!
We look forward to having Isaac, Sarah and Eli back next week! Jed will be out (swimming lessons) next week and perhaps 1 or 2 others out as well so our bench depth is a good thing.
Special thanks to Coach Shawn, Coach Paul, Coach Sam and Coach Ronnie and all the parents - couldn't do it without you!
Lastly, a very special thanks to Coach Shawn for pitching last night - he did a great job! - and for proving that his instincts for self- preservation are strong! Watch those line drives Shawn! Ha!
Have a great weekend - Mike

Keep hitting that ball Saraia. Grandpa and Grammy are proud of you. We're going to have to start calling you "slugger."
