Today was
a great day to be at the park. The players played in
front of, by far, the largest crowd of the year. The
start of the game went something like this "Now batting for
the Yankees....number 1...Chuuuuck Thooompsooon".
Without delay, Chuck started the game off belting a line
drive through the infield. Patrick and Zac
burned up the base paths with their speed. Jamie A.
and Jaylon both continued their hitting streaks. Andre
and Josh got the fans approval by waving while running to
first. Just wanting to check things out, Austin,
our newest player, decided he wanted to play. There
were so many good plays. Everyone's batting improved
since our first game back in October. We would like to thank all of
our volunteers for your support. |

We had a
few players missing due to the holiday but for those players
who did make it was a blast. Each player got to hit no
less than 15 times. The weather was much warmer which
allowed our cheering section to get rowdy. Jaylon
turned in his most impressive batting performance of the
season. He hit 4 in a row at two different at bats.
Leanne with her usual big stick earned MVP honors with 2
triples and 2 homeruns. We would like to thank all of
our volunteers for your support. |

Today was a cold day to play ball.
With the wind blowing it felt like the middle of winter.
Players and Buddies broke out the long-johns and played
through the cold. There's nothing like warming
yourself up with a homerun!
We would like to thank all of our volunteers for your
support. |

We had our
first homerun ever hit out of the park today. Rawle
lined himself up stared down the pitcher and on the first
pitch, launched a high fly to deep left center field. The
ball bounced off the grassy hill, rolled into the packed
parking lot. The crowd cheered wildly as Rawle rounded
the bases. Congratulations to Rawle for a big time
hit. Even though we had team pictures taken before our
games, there wasn't a shortage of big smiles during the
games. Pictures of
both games are posted in our photo
gallery. We would like to thank all of our volunteers for
your support. |

Today we played while the
Rotary International filmed. A lot of player
excitement stirred as the cameras focused in. Our
cheering section doubled in size from the last game.
There were a few extra people on the field. Flash
bulbs popped from different directions. Nothing was
going to distract our athletes from hitting and scoring.
Big smiles and lots of laughter was today's overwhelming
theme. Pictures of the second game are posted in our photo
gallery. We would like to thank all of our volunteers for
your support. |

We received a case of
"Big Jack" bats from Marky Sparky Toys. They were kind
enough to donate a case of six bats at no cost to the
league. |

Today was
extra hot but our athletes played on. Among all the exciting
action we almost witnessed two out of the park homeruns. The
long bombs were hit by Chuck and Josh clearing the infield
and landing a few feet shy of the fence. Everyone had a
great time. Pictures of both games are posted in our photo
gallery. We would like to thank all of our volunteers for
your support. |
