Scouting Report: Grace UM

I've got some free time here on Saturday morning, and...I'm a loser. So I checked out some info on the league site. Here's there report on Grace UM:

Record: 5-1 (just lost their first game)
Runs Scored: 82
Runs Against: 33

*Note 1: Oak Grove had only given up 17 runs in their first 5 games, yet we were able to seal up another victory this past Tuesday.*

If we all attend "Jay Dougherty's Hitting School of Hitting", and keep up the Big D, we'll be set. Let the streak continue! Quote: "We won one today. If we win one tomorrow it'll be two in a row. If we win one again, it's called a winning streak. It has happened before." ~ Coach from "Major League II"

*Note 2: This is all for fun! Let's not take it too seriously, get out there, and have a blast!*

Recap - Game 6 (DE-FENSE!)

Notes from coach:

Game Highlights:::DE-FENSE DE-FENSE--that was the name of the game. CBC wins their 4th in a row and a BIG win over Oak Grove 10-5. CBC started out with some offense, scoring 3 runs in the 1st to take then lead and never looked back. CBC held a 7-0 lead thru the 4th before Oak Grove put some runs on the board. Carl "the vaccuum" Brooks handled numerous ground balls down at third throughout the game. The defense was great. Two doubles plays 1-6-3- and 4-6-3 were turned at opportune times to end the inning and keep Oak Grove scoreless. Kevin Blake also make a nice diving stop in LC on a shot that was destined for a HR. CBC put up 10R on 16H with Blanchard and Mac both going 3 for 4 and Chad went 2 for 3. Returning from the DL Joe pitched 7 innings only giving up 5 runs. IT WAS THE DEFENSE AND CLUTCH INNING!!

Great game guys!!! To those who weren't there...we missed you! Look forward to next Tuesday!

Recap- game 5

Calvary 18 Grace Assembly 12

A nice come-from-behind win for Calvary on Tuesday night. After being down 9-2 after 4 innings, CBC rallied for 6 runs in the 5th, 7 runs in the 6th and 3 more insurance runs in the 7th inning. With a couple regulars out, everyone stepped up their game and "hit the ball hard."

Some highlights:
- Brian Blanchard hit a 2 run HR in the 6th to put CBC ahead for good
- Kevin Blake went 5 for 5 with 4 doubles
- Wally Yocum went 4 for 5
- Ryan M, Carl B, Bryan G all went 3 for 5
- Kevin Williams went 3 for 4 with a triple

A BIG THANK YOU to Mrs. Karchner (Chad's Mom) for keeping the scorebook for us!

Don't wash those new uniform jerseys, we're undefeated in them! Great game guys.

Grace Assembly: Bulletin Board Material

Ok...so the two-game week will have to wait until next week. But, as of now, we STILL have a game on Thursday, 5/22 @ Grace Assembly. Now, I would like to say that there has been some trash talking on behalf of a Grace Assembly player. He works with my wife and also knows Bryan Blanchard...and he has been throwing some words our way. So, let that motivate the hit parade to continue! Consider him the T.O. of Grace Assembly. Take no prisoners! Haha! (just to clarify...this is all just for fun! only joking!)

Two Game Week!!! Woo hoo!

If you're like me, once the a game is over you start looking forward to the next one. Well, this week is a rare case when you only have to wait one day for the chance to play again. We play Tuesday AND Thursday this week. Now, I know some of the more "seasoned" players require a full week for recovery, but let's look at the positives:

1. If you tear it up...momentum carries to the next game.
2. If you stink it up...a chance at redemption right away.
3. MORE TIME TO PLAY BALL!

Let's go Calvary!

Calvary 34 Towne Baptist 21

Recap- game 3

CBC 22 North Harford 9

comments from the coach Joe:

"The hit parade was out last night!! I quote "just hit the ball , don't try to place it, hit it hard, just hit it". This famous quote from Jay Dougherty was used last night. Practice what you preach. It was a good offensive game for us. The defense wasn't bad at all and I think we got kind of complacent after scoring all those runs in the first few innings.
Thanks for all that came and participated.

Next week will be wear your major league/minor league hat day. If you have a BASEBALL cap that you would like to wear for a team photo for the web please bring it with you. We are at our home field but are the visitors so if you want BP and fielding please be there by 5:30pm.

Also if you owe money please bring it next week!"

Some highlights:

Great offensive production throughout the lineup last night, especially 1-2-3...Brian Blanchard, Ryan McMillan and Kevin Blake were a combined 12 for 12 with 12 runs scored.

Ryan McMillan was a double short of the cycle
Jay Dougherty was 2 for 3 with 5 rbi
Kevin Williams and Wally Yocum each had 3 rbi
Brent Gebhardt pitched a good game and supported his own cause with a double to deep left field.

19 hits for CBC, great job...lets keep the bats rolling into next week!
