Games 9/29: Cancelled

All games have been canceled due to rain.

No BP Sun., 9/23

No BP this afternoon. 53 hits in two games yesterday. I think it's OK to let the bats rest. See everyone Wednesday.

Results: 2012-09-22 Game 2

We kept it up in the second game, even though it was getting hot and tired.  I know I was.  We had great production again up and down the lineup.

Note: In both games today, I recorded an inning with 6 runs. That can't technically happen because of the five-run rule. These would not count in an official score, but, seeing as there is no official score in the fall, I say the runs count.

Results: 2012-09-22 Game 1

We got off to a great start in the first game.  We scored the max number of runs in two innings, and we had runs, hits and RBIs from all parts of the batting order.  When we play well, there is not a "weak" part of the order!

For example, the "top half" of the order (batters 1–6 — we normally have 12 players) hit 0.778, while the "bottom half" hit 0.769.  There's a reason I'm writing "bottom half" in quotes.

9/15 Rainout Rescheduled to 10/13

Our game that was rained out yesterday (9/15) has been rescheduled to Sat., 10/13 at 7:00PM on Field 10 (immediately following our game at 5:30PM on the same field).  The calendar page has been updated.

BP Cancelled - Sun., 9/16

I am cancelling BP this afternoon because of the rain.  I wanted to make a decision relatively early so that you could plan your Sunday afternoon without wondering about it.

I normally take Elijah to the cages on Tuesday evenings while my 10U son practices.  Anyone who wants to join us is welcome to do so.  I'll let everyone know 1) that I'll for sure be out there, and 2) at what time.

Our next scheduled practice is Wed., 9/19 at 6:00 PM on Field 11.

Thanks!
Coach Greg

Possible Rescheduling of 9/15 Games

RRBL will try to reschedule as many of today's games as possible.  Due to the large number of double headers being played today in some age groups, it may not be possible to get all of them rescheduled but they are going to try.

The rescheduled games would be played primarily over the next two Saturdays.   September 22nd and 29th are the last full game days we have for the fall season.  October 6th and 13th have limited availability due to park closures (until 3pm) on both days.  Game times would be adjusted for everyone over the next two weekends to accommodate all the rescheduled games.

The updated schedules will be posted to website over the next few of days.  It will take some time to move all of the games.

Games Cancelled: Sat 9/15

Due to the wet field conditions, all games have been cancelled for Saturday 9/15.  Games will most likely not to be rescheduled because of the short fall season.  More information will be posted later to confirm.

Results: 2012-09-08, Game 2

We picked up right where left off in the first game. Good hitting and fielding all around. All 12 players should be proud about what they did today.  Lots to work on, but lots of things to be excited about.

There were lots of good offensive and defensive plays, but we definitely have to highlight two of the best catches you're going to see by a catcher in an 8U game.  Good job, Adam!

A rough start at the plate, but the kids kept playing and eventually got going in the last inning. We saw a lot of good things to build on.
