Week Three - Recap, Notables, and Notes

RECAP:

This weekend was all about the Warriors!

The Warriors played stellar baseball and added three more to the win column.  They are undefeated after three weeks of play and seem to be continuing to gain momentum.  I thoroughly enjoy watching this TEAM play baseball.  They work together, cheer for and encourage each other, and do it all while having F-U-N.

Parents and players braved the turnpike Friday afternoon as the Warriors met up with Grafton in this season's first Friday Night Lights game.  It was five runs scored after two for the Warriors when Grafton brought out the hard throwing righty to hold the Sturbridge offense at bay.  At the end of five, the game was tied.  The sixth inning brought 11 batters to the plate, with seven scoring runs before the inning ended.

Notables:
Welcome to the hill Alex T!
Brandon B's quick reflexes snagged a hard line drive down the third base line.
Tim T's 1-2-3 pitching debut in the sixth shut down any hopes of Grafton making a comeback.
Roman K and Dan S launched consecutive bombs to the fence (with a little hop and a roll.)
Ginormous double from Cal and a smart and speedy stolen third from JT.

The Warriors then faced Leicester in a back-to-back weekend series.  Aggressive base running brought in a total of 29 runs between the two games.  How did they do it, you ask?

Teamwork

Roman and Dan threw strike after strike on Saturday and Owen, Griffin, and Devin dominated the mound on Sunday. Roman snagged a throw to second to fire back to Cal in a 2-6-2 out at home plate, Ryan fired two rockets to snag runners hoping to steal second, and quick thinking by Owen in right field cut down a another runner heading to second.  Almost every play required the efforts of two or more players in the field and support for each other at the plate.

Well done, Warriors!
