I had a good time, I want to send out a few shout outs lol.
Steph Andrews- Whitmer- Andrews hit a 2 out, bases loaded double in the bottom of the 7th with Whitmer down by 1 to give Whitmer the win in their first game. She also hit the ball hard off of the Mayor (Quimby) to drive in Whitmers only run against Perrysburg. The Soph had an outstanding day in the field as well.
Kelly Malloy- Whitmer- The Senior Captain was injured and had to be taken out of the Maumee game, with the game on the line against Perrysburg, she pinched hit. Only to be drilled on the arm by the second pitch in the AB. The kid is a gamer.
Hats off to the NDA girls. They had prom the night before, stayed at the after Prom until 4 am ish, were at the field by 12:30 pm and played 2, 1 run games. All this and they had a 6 am practice friday so the girls could get ready for Prom. That is a busy day and regardless of the league you pull for you have to be impressed with those kids and the effort they put into their games yesterday.
Start- Everytime they got a hit, made a nice catch or scored a run those kids were cheering like crazy. I thought they were winning the Perrysburg game lol, I went over and asked a Start parent and he said, no we are done 6-0 lol and they were no Hit, but hey I give those kids credit for having a good time and cheering their team on.
Maumee- After a heart breaking loss in the 7th inning they were able to come back and win a game in the bottom of the 7th.
Perrysburg- Back up pitchers Rich and the Mayor both pitched no hitters.
There were alot of people out there this weekend, it was a really good time. I hope they keep this going. There needs to be some tweaking, heat once brought up doing a poll of coaches and seeding teams by league that way, that idea is gaining some momentum. There is no way Start should have one of the toughest schedules this year.
