What a great season ending! Although we finished in last place (9th), our team rallied to win their first of the double-elimination playoff games last Sunday at 9 AM as the visiting team at Beckwith Field. They played very well against Noonan Construction and won the game with a score of 15-10.

Then it was time for game 2 on Tuesday, June 15th against the #1 team, Morgenous Lawn Care, as the visiting team at Beckwith field. It was such an exciting game, and the kids fought hard until the end. We lost that game, but I admittedly can't remember the exact score because of the excitement and commotion.

Awesome game, Formax!!!
On Wednesday, May 26th, Gage Hill Builders hosted Formax for a 5:30 game. The weather was humid and around 90 degrees (a hot one). Needless to say, the kids were all dragging a bit, but we kept them hydrated at least.

Formax took an early lead and would go on to keep this lead until the finish. Our pitching was great, with many strike-outs. Our batting was great too, with great base-running.

Elijah catching
Last night, the weather was absolutely perfect for baseball (except for the black flies...). Formax continued their rained-out game against Insurcomm from April 27th at Sullivan Field. They resumed the game at Beckwith, starting with the bottom of the 3rd inning, Formax at bat, with runners on 2nd and 3rd, 1 out, and the score where the game was called was Insurcomm 4, Formax 2.
Formax rallied early but Insurcomm pitching prevented Formax from pulling ahead. Elijah caught a pop fly to 3rd for an out, and made a great throw to 1st for another one... Insurcomm won the game, 8-5 (?).

Ripken Coaching Certificate
Alas, it is finally official! Tonight I finally completed Coaching Youth Baseball: The Ripken Way for Babe Ruth Baseball Coaching and I am proud to announce that I am now officially a Certified Baseball Coach!
The course was fun, affordable, challenging and rewarding, and I have taken away some great information and insight into the great game of baseball. I can't believe all the practice drills and practice game suggestions that were provided...
