Well, HELLO
2013 SLL Cardinals! With the warm (I mean, hot)
weather approaching and the re-energized players on the field last night, I
felt a new blog post was long overdue.
So, how ’bout
those Cardinals last night?! I guess the
four-days-in-a-row-practice-until-they-drop tactic worked! The defense of this team has come a long way
and your hard work is finally paying off.
Superb fielding, skillful pitching, and “live” bats gave the team a long
overdue WIN.
SWEET!
Hats off to
our pitchers; Devin, Joe, and Alex, for keeping their cool on the mound and shutting
down a slew of batters last night - well done, boys.
Some other
plays that deserve special mention:
TYLER – you
were on FIRE with that solid shot into left field to bring in the FIRST run. IMPRESSIVE!
EVAN – kudos
for keeping that ball in front of you and holding most Rockies runners to
singles. WTG!
DEVIN – Dude,
nice diving catch at the fence. You ROCK
and totally deserve that ice cream!
BEN-JAMIN’ –
awesome catch in the final inning of the game.
WICKED!
It’s hard to
believe the season is in its final weeks.
And busy weeks they will be.
Practices will pick up to give this team the best chance possible to
secure a spot in the final round of the Playoffs. It can happen if you boys want it – I mean reeaaallllyy want it.
BUT, you can't just SAY you want it. You have to PLAY like you want it. It’s much more than just suiting up and
getting out on the field as a team – you need to practice and develop yourself
as an athlete. The only way to beat the other teams is to be
better than the other players.
Run faster, swing harder, throw farther.
Well, ARE YOU READY!?!?!?!?
Then let’s PLAY BALL!
