Great Day for Baseball Season opener
We were able to work some things out today in our first two games of the season. We lost a tough game to the idaho falls chuckers 10-5. We battled back and forth for four innings with the chuckers, always within one run until the bottom of the fifth when one of their boys found a hole in our outfield and scored some their final few runs. Now to put in perspective this Chuckers team is a very good ball club. They were runner ups in the the idaho falls tournament last year and picked up some other talent in the area, this is no excuse why we lost but we did battle with them and I was very impressed how we played for our first game with bigger bases and lead offs. All of the boys did well at the plate and are figuring out this leading off business. The second game against the Ducks (another idaho falls team) was a bit less of a battle. The boys quit over analyzing the game and just went out and played, they did a great job hitting the ball and moving each other around the bases with several base hits. It was great to see them get some confidence back and some success under their belt. This week we have a practice game with the cats on wednesday. Practice on tuesday and thursday and our saturday games are in west haven, should be a fun week of the boys learning and have fun with each other. I love to see the way these boys cheer for each other and help build each others confidence, what a great group of young men. Good job today boys.
