One Week Until Opening Day!

This year has been very busy fitting baseball into an already hectic schedule.  However, the progress and fun has been very rewarding.  Not only are we enjoying the game but instilling character traits into young boys that will eventually make them men.

We have entered our last week of practice, getting individual and team pictures, and a couple final exhibition games.  The best practice game came last week as the coaches and fathers beat the Morgantown Angels 5-2.  It was a lot of fun and hopefully helped them improve by playing some tougher competition.

Reb hit the ball well in the game against the men but due to great defense came up 0-2.  He made three plays at 2nd base with no errors.

In a shortened exhibition game last night he went 1-1 with a single to center field.  He did not have an defensive chances.

This Saturday will be their last exhibition game and will begin the season on Monday by playing away against Edinburgh.  

Remember, practice hard and play hard for the glory of God!

Here is a good article, Stepping Up To The Plate, about the beginning the baseball season and keeping Christ the focus as we play the game.

We leave you with a another great video from Pro Baseball Insider.  This is part 1 on proper hitting mechanics.
