Hectic Update

Times have been really hectic of late with church, buying a house, moving, end of school and baseball.  Not much time to blog about baseball. 

The Angels are now 3-1 after four games and this week we are scheduled to play 4 games.  Tonight we take on the Brown County Eagles here in Morgantown at 6 pm.  Wednesday we play a double header in Edinburgh and Saturday we are back home to play Trafalgar.

Our biggest hurdle is to play consistent baseball.  In our last game we played the best all around game of the year.  Reb played his best game of the season and what we are looking for is the ability to put two good games back to back.  While we are 3-1 we have not played two good games in a row.  We have struggled to make contact and some of our pitchers have struggled to throw strikes.  Eliminating mistakes and playing more consistent is our goal.  It does no good to make a great play if it is followed up by two errors.

Reb is leading the team in steals and tied for second in runs and walks.  We have been working on making more consistent contact at the plate.  Reb is also tied for the team lead in strikeouts.

The extra work paid off last game as Reb went 1-2 with a double.  However, he struck out in his other at bat.  Since then we have put a lot of time in the box and tonight we get to see if we are still making progress.

Until next time, play hard.  Go Angels!
