Gents:
We have to be happy with the weekend performance in sweeping our two games.
Virtually every player made contributions in each game and helped us win.
We rang up 22 runs and hit the ball as well as we have all year. Just about everyone had a hit and knocked in a run or two. Travis banged in the game winner in game 1 and Mike just missed a jack in game 2. Roneil was on base all day with hits and got the big hit to lead off the 8th and gave us the start to game winning rally. Bobby hit like he does every week and made the substituion of Chuck on the bases look like the right move with his base hit. Mike Jose and Johnny combined with Travis to make the middle of the lineup very productive banging around hits all day. Danny ripped a couple knocking in runs as well. All in all a nice showing and priming us for the playoffs.
Jim got us ahead in game 1 and Mike pitched very well in game 2 giving us a chance to win
Tim made a great play int he 7th grabbing the line drive and turning it into a DP--we had 3 DP's ont he day!
For this week we have a game up in Naugatuck starting at 4pm on Saturday.
Players can choose to get there directly ( directions below) or meet at the Merritt parkway commuter parking lot at exit 41. I will be at exit 41 at 230PM
from the Merritt heading North:
Take exit 52 to merge onto CT-8 N toward Waterbury
19.7 mi 10. Take exit 26 for CT-63/S Main St
0.1 mi 11. Keep left at the fork, follow signs for S MAINT St
141 ft 12. Turn right at CT-63
33 ft 13. Turn left at S Main St
0.1 mi 14. Turn left at Hotchkiss St
We should be able to see a field from there and the baseball field is behind a softball field
Rotary Park is the name of the field
If you are up there and lost call the coach on his cell (Bill Grabowski) at 203-525-9509 for help ( I have never been there)
The Naugatuck HS had a winning streak of 100 straight games back in earlier days.. Some of the players on that team will be playing Saturday.
As of now I am not sure how many are going as several are going to let me know I hope you do make it and use this as prep for our playoffs
Please let me know as soon as possible if you are not coming
We know Charlie and Bob Ryan are out and likely Roneil is out as well.
Tim C is in though and I think X is back from the mission Obama sent him to Turkey that somehow took priority over the Cardinals doubleheader.
We will plan on throwing all the pitchers during the game. Alex and Jose will do the catching
We know several are iffy but please let me know so we can be sure to bring a full team
Great job Sunday and lets keep it up so we are primed for the playoffs
