Angels Finish in 2nd Place

The Morgantown Angels finished in 2nd place in the 2013 Tri-County Tournament.  We are really proud of what they accomplished in the face of some adversity this year.  They played their best baseball in the tournament after some disappointments during the season.

The last few weeks have been busy with church, baseball, and moving into our new house.  I have not had the time to keep up with this blog but we will have a full report of the season and playoffs in the coming weeks.  We will also continue our training and posting information to help young ballplayers develop spiritually, physically and mentally.

While we are proud of all of Reb's accomplishments and improvements this year, we are most proud of the recognition he received in the championship ceremony he received for his attitude on and off the field. 

During the last couple of regular season games he had the opportunity to pitch 2 shutout innings and had two strikeouts.  The first game his control was excellent and while he was not as sharp the second game he was able to pitch his way out of trouble without allowing any runs.We will continue to work on his pitching during the off season.  Since he was in a higher league in respect to his age, we are hopeful this years experience will payoff next year.  He really wants to pitch and so our focus will be on mechanics, location, four and two seam fastball, and two changeups, a straight change and the circle change.

We should also acknowledge the winners of the 2013 Tri-County Tournament, the Brown County Eagles.  They are an excellent team and well coached.  We have a lot of respect for this team and enjoyed our competition with them throughout the year.

After we take a break he will also be working on the fundamentals of the game, fielding, batting and conditioning.  We enjoy the physical exercise baseball provides.  Some people like to exercise in many different forms and we like to play baseball.  It is fun for the whole family.

If you are a homeschooler in South Central Indiana and interested in a getting involved in a baseball program please contact us at james@covenantcommission.org 

More information to come but we would like to start forming friendships that can develop into opportunities for homeschoolers.
