Minors Division 2nd Place

     The Championship game did not go as we wanted it to, but the boys had a great season. We were playing a great Magrath team that probably had the best pitcher in the league pitching againsts us. We gave up 4 or 5 runs in the first inning, but the boys shrugged it off and played great defense for the remainder of the game. We started to get some good hits around the 3rd or 4th inning, including a line drive from Haydn that happened to go right to the 3rd basemen. We ended up loosing the game 7-1, but we were so proud of how far we came in the playoffs. We finished the regular season as the 6th place team out of 8, and we finished the playoffs as the 2nd best team in the league. The boys were so excited to get medals and have that to show for their hard work. We had a young team that will just continue to get better at the game. Some of my most important positions were filled with first year players. Haydn was my back catch, Briggs Holland - first base, and Graedon Woodward was 3rd base. These boys will be great players.

Haydn, Brody and Cousin Jake

     This was Haydn's first year in minors and he did great. He was my main back catcher through out the year, and improved on his game everyday. He had a good eye at the plate and was able to draw a lot of walks, but was not scared to swing the bat when the opportunity presented itself. He will be a great player if he keeps his love for the game and the willingness to continue to practice. Haydn is always asking to go into the backyard and pitch, take out the pitching machine and hits some balls or to come and shag balls while the big boys are hitting softballs. For a Dad who loves the game of baseball this is enough to warm my heart and bring tears to my eyes. haha. No seriously......haha. I am very proud of him and they way he has played this year.

Women's Softball

     Kristi's ladies softball team was the #1 team through out the regular season and had its final tourney last weekend. Kristi played great through out the weekend and the team easily won the entire tournament.

Haydn found a Turtle down at Softball Valley last night.
He was pretty excited!
