Game 3 Update

Congratulations to the Broncos for another great night of baseball Monda night! We played the Coal Mountain White Raiders this time around and, while we didn't emerge victorious, we had a great game.

The boys did a great job at the plate, as well as in the field. Apparently, there's just something about playing at Coal Mountain and one of the boys getting injured, though. Bentley got hit in the leg by a line drive while at the Pitcher position. We moved him to the outfield to recuperate, and Coach Kyle rewarded his toughness by presenting him with the game ball.

Jacob and Mikah had another night in the field, stopping pretty much everything that came their way. Nolan also had an outstanding night at first base, collecting two unassisted put-outs in the first inning. Finally, Griffin did a great job at second base, and came within a hair's breadth of running down a Raider at second base. Way to go, boys!

We'll continue to work with the boys on the strategy of getting the ball to the correct base when there are runners aboard. Since we're off for the next two weeks for Spring Break, there's always the chance that some of the lessons we've learned so far could be un-learned. Along those lines, we're considering hosting a couple of optional practices over the next two weeks. Please e-mail Coach Kyle if you'd like to participate, and we'll work on securing a practice field.

Our next game will be Saturday, April 18th at 11:00. The game will be played at Bennett Park on Field 3, and we'll be playing the Central Park Rays.

Please feel free to give either of us a shout if you'd like to practice over Spring Break. Thanks again for a great night on Monday. See you soon!
