Recap- game 2

Nazarene 14 Calvary 6

Some highlights:

Ryan McMillan and Kevin Blake both went 2 for 3 and scored twice
Jay Daugherty had 3 rbi
Jeff Karmann was 2 for 3 with 1 rbi
Carl Brooks was 2 for 3 with 2 rbi

CBC played a solid defensive game but fell victim to the Nazarene's ability to "hit it where we weren't"

Let's hit the batting cages before next week and come out ready to score some runs!

Back to Basics

What would we be if we didn't have a instructional hitting video? It's a short one, but actually as some good info. One of the big things I would add that people tend to have trouble with is...grip the bat with your fingers and line up the "knocking knuckles" on each hand. (It allows for more wrist snap). This is more for fun than anything...but also useful! Woohoo! Such versatility!

next game-4/29 @ Church of The Nazarene

Recap- game 1

Crossroads 23 Calvary 12

We're not planning on keeping player stats on here, but after each game we'll give a recap, maybe some pics from the game and some random comments and thoughts...

First off, welcome to all the new guys...it's great to have you on the team, we're looking forward to having a good time this spring/summer and maybe even win a few games along the way.

We're very thankful to have a home field this season, thanks to Franklin Baptist Church and for everyone that came out to work on the field.

On to the game...

We showed some real life in the top of the first, putting 5 runs on the board and nearly batting around...the offense slowed down a bit through the middle innings and Crossroads just hit the ball harder and farther than we did.

Some highlights for CBC were:
*Dave Rice nearly hitting for the cycle (single, triple, home run)
*Good team defense, highlighted by Ryan MacMillan at shortstop
*Jay Daugherty solo home run
*Wally Yocum got a tick bite in his abdomen

I'm sure I left out some other notable moments, please mention them in the comments section!

Joe took some pics, we'll try to get those on here later this week, check back...

Grounds Crew

I stole this pic from Wally's blog. If you were there, there's no explanation needed. If not...this is our home field. Just a few weeks ago the entire field was grass. After a lot of tractor work, digging, raking, and old-fashioned elbow grease (what does that even mean?), the field looked like this yesterday. The rows are piles of stones and hard dirt clumps. "If you build it, they will come."
