Gents:
We played well yesterday beating Trumbull 7-2 and look to repeat the performance tonight. Jim did a terrific job running the game ( and getting the filed in playable shape) and we should give him the same support behind him and at the plate tonight to get us another win.
Mike did a great job getting outs all game allowing only 1 walk and spacing out a few hits. Alex didn’t allow a stolen base or any advances and kept them from mounting any threats.
We did a terrific job in the field making every play. X caught a few in the outfield and then wrapped up a double play at 1st. Jose started the game with a long run to catch a foul pop and Tim made several nice fielding plays and throws. Booby U seemed to have a play every inning which was great because he made them all as he does every week.
On offense we had 12 hits paced by Johnny Liz's three hits. Bobby U continued his fine hitting with a couple hits including an RBI double. Jose boomed a double to knock in 2 runs and added a single to reach the .400 mark .
Charlie and Alex both had hits and we hit the ball hard up and down the lineup.
Tonight we look to beat the Trumbull team again with Jim on the mound and Charlie behind the plate.
We are missing Xavier as he has to go down and give Obama a hand in DC. John Radkins is out tonight as well but otherwise we should have full team.
We all know the formula to win in this league is to throw strikes, make the plays and put pressure on the defense.
We did that yesterday and came away with a nice win. We can do the same tonight and tomorrow night vs. Ridgefield Reds to keep us headed in the right direction.
The game starts at 8pm so we hope you can arrive between 715pm and 730pm ( there is a game in front of ours) to prepare.
see you tonight… great job yesterday … let's do it again

Upcoming Games June 14th June 15th
Gents:
There were some pluses this weekend to build upon even though we lost both games. Winning in this league is not easy against experienced teams like the Mariners and Top Hats. They find ways to score, throw strikes and play defense. We are close to them and are making progress. By playoffs time I believe we will be at that tier of play. For now let's play well this weekend to establish our progress and improve our performance in each facet of the game.
This weekend we hope to hit more and play defense like we did Sunday.
On Sunday we host the Ridgefield Reds which is a team from the Danbury League. This Sunday all the teams in our league play a team from the Danbury league in an effort to foster some cross league activity. We should expect they will throw their best pitcher and play hard to win. The game starts at 9 am and we hope to take infield at 820am. We expect to start Jim on the mound and Alex will catch. Mike and Tim will be in relief.
We expect Jose to be back from a short term bug that hit him last weekend. And we wish Travis good luck in coaching his legion team and look forward to his return in late July.
On Monday night at 730pm we host the Stamford Phillies in a makeup game from an earlier rain out. They have played well this year and will demand our best efforts. I will start that game and Charlie will be behind the plate.
As for practice, I will send a note Friday to determine if we can have BP on sat am.
Please let us know if you are not able to attend these games. Thank you

Game Tonight: June 8th vs Top Hats
Gents:
Nicely played game yesterday and a base hit here or there might have made a difference in the outcome. Great job by the defense with special mention to Bob Ryan and his great plays in the field including the diving stop to his left and scramble up to make the throw. Bob Urzua started a 5-4-3 double play and later dove and threw out a runner from his knees in a web gem play. Jim did a great job on the mound and were we to have gotten a couple more runs we would likely have won.
Tonight we host the Monroe Tops Hats at 730PM. They are a very strong team and we will need to play our best tonight. They represent a good challenge for us to play all facets of the game at our highest level. We showed a lot yesterday and I am confident we will play well tonight as well
please arrive as soon as possible to 630PM to try and get some BP in before the game.
There is some 50% probability forecast for rain tonight and I will check later in the day with Jim in Wilton to see if our game has been impacted.
we will post any weather /field news here. I leave here in the city at 5pm so that will be the latest I can update the blog with any weather news.
We will be missing Charlie and Mike tonight. Everyone will contribute to the win tonight!
see you there

Nice Win last night and Upcoming Games
Sox,
Congratulations Sox on some nice work last night as everyone contributed to the win to get us back on track and ready for this weekend's challenges.
Danny rapped about a big 2 run double to give us the lead for good and followed that up with a another 2 ribby single to cap a strong 3-4 night.
And kudos to John Radkins for his 2-3 h night along with 2bb's and 3 runs scored - great job in your inaugural start! John beat out an infield hit with two outs to set the stage for Danny's gapper .
Jose played first on one leg and had two hits including blasting the longest single in varsity field history as he reached the softball diamond on the fly and made it to first standing up!
and how about Bobby U who made several nice plays at second and rapped out 2 more hits to keep his average solidly above .400 on the year
and lets welcome back Bob Ryan who ripped three hits and played a flawless third after taking maternity leave and working crazy hours on his new business. Great to have Bob back!
Defensively Chuck made a very nice play on a drive to left and Charlie caught the game like a champ. At one point Doc Parsons from the Cardinals who dropped by and was keeping the book noted we had a first pitch strike on 11 hitters in a row. That is testimony to the setting up behind the plate by Charlie and calling a great game!
Tim ripped a couple hits including a long double to the fence in left center and finished up the game strongly at SS making a nice play to end the game.
We will have some practice time at 8 am on Saturday for those who can make it. Charlie and I will be there and we hope to get some BP to get ready for the weekend.
We have two games this weekend. We host the Mariners on Sunday am at 9 am at home . On Monday night we host the Monroe Top hats at 730pm making up an earlier rainout. These are two formidable competitors and will require our best efforts.
I expect Rich Lee a tall lefty to pitch for the Mariners. he is not overpowering and changes speeds a lot and has a very good move to first.
We ought to be able to hit the ball and make the offense go. They are a good team and not likely to give us any breaks so we will need to play well in the field and hit the ball-which I know we can do.
Mike will start the Mariners game with Jim in relief.
We know Charlie is out Sunday . Please let me know if you will not be able to attend either of these games
Once again great work last night and let's carry it over to the weekend.
