Coach Irwin's Last Game

Guys, I get to have ONE MORE GAME with you. We play Broadwater next Tuesday and I'll be able to be part of the team; but I'll miss the last game and the weekend tournament.

We will talk at the game, but it sure has been a lot of fun getting to know you guys and watch you ALL become better baseball players. And, better teammates. We promised only that we would have fun, and after the first game of the season we weren't sure that we would be any good!

Well, I think an 8-2 baseball team that has scored as many runs and stolen as many bases as we have IS GREAT! Everybody has contributed, everybody has sat on the bench, many of you have played a lot of different positions, and all of you have been fun. Thanks to you all for letting me be part of this team. I have enjoyed every single minute!

Great job, guys. Keith with a HR and a great pitching inning; Jaybrien with two great catches in the last inning; Konnor with an awesome outing on the mound (and a nice catch in left); and everybody else giving all they got! We're aggressive and we will win or lose on that. So, we steal bases (including home). You have to be either good or lucky to beat us. So, let's smile and have fun, OK? See you all next time!

Lots of Black Arrows playing new positions! Coach Johnson and I sure hope that tonight was a little more fun than usual. Agree????

Congrats to Christian Felder: 2 Home Runs in 3 At-Bats. Great job!

PS: Keith Wilson gets a chance at the mound on Friday night. Guaranteed!

A Few Notes For The Black Arrow Baseball Team

Guys, we hope you're glad to be a part of this team! Winning is great, but hopefully you guys are having fun for more than just that!

Our rule is that (unless we just can't help it), each player sits an inning. The problem is that we have 12 players, so that's 3 players an inning. Sorry that you have to sit, but there are teams that don't follow that rule. Thanks for understanding!

Every player will make mistakes this year. Everyone. In fact, Coach Delvan made the first mistake of the game!!! Even the coaches make mistakes. But, let's smile, shake it off and get better, OK? Hey, we're here in Rec League to have fun!

We all promised to be a TEAM when we are together at practice or games. Let's keep being that TEAM. You will look back on this year with a smile if you do.

Good job everybody!
