Game 7 - May 17th

I hope everyone is excited that we finally seem to be getting weather more suitable for baseball! 10 days between games is not good for any baseball team and the Grizzlies looked like it may have affected them just a little bit in the field, especially in the 1st inning. But the bats sure looked good! A few highlights:

• Congratulations TJ for taking home the game's MVP award! TJ displayed some very nice fielding at Shortstop, knocking down some hard hit balls and making strong throws to 1st base. He also had 2 sharply hit singles. I was also proud of him for making good in game adjustments. In the first inning he forgot to cover his base the first time, but after being reminded of that, he never forgot again. Great game!
• Other impressive outs were made by Brad, who gobbled up a ground ball at 1st base and Kyle, who fielded a ball at shortstop and wisely tagged out the runner going to 3rd base.
• We've been working more on hitting mechanics, particularly #1 - level swings and #2 - keeping your head down on the ball. It looks like this is starting to pay off as the bats looked solid. Brad clobbered another double and Zack had 2 hard hits that made the outfield. And Kudos to Toby who hit safely in all 4 of his at bats, the only Grizzly to accomplish that feat.
