Oh what a wonderful day!

I want to thank you for all of your hard work over the Winter and today we reaped the benefits of your efforts.  For the first time in Spin Doctor history the 13 and 14U teams won their championships on the same day.  What an amazing day it was.  It took a while but the 13U team got their bats going while on life support and came alive to win their semifinal game in a come from behind thriller.  They continued their timely hitting to put away a pesky Commanders team 17-7.  Their were heroes all over the lineup as each player stepped up and contributed.  Aiden Armstron and JJ Hessel were the CO-MVP's as their exploits were hard to separate.  JJ had 2 inside the park home runs and Aiden was on his heels with a couple of triples and game saving web gems in the outfield.  Ty Isbell came off of the shelf after not pitching for a couple of months and saved the day with a stunning performance to win the Cy Young for the tournament.

The 14U team found it's "KWAN" as they obliterated stiff MAJORS level competition by scoring 56 runs in 4 games.  David Christensen took home the MVP while belting 3 home runs over the weekend.  His last blast was a Grand Slam walk off homer that sealed the win by a 20-7 score.  Gabe Hamilton pitched a complete game shutout GEM to take home the Cy Young.  There are too many superlatives to cover , let's just say it was a total team effort and EVERYONE contributed greatly to the championship win.  Home run hitters for the weekend were David and his 3, Willie Thomas, Gabe Hamilton. Jack Lynch and Marcus Skundrich.  I will post the picture of the victors as I receive them.

What an amazing day!

14U FIREWORKS DISPLAY

What an impressive display of baseball!
The 14U team advanced to the semifinals as the number one seed after disposing of a really good team and an average team.  They punished the RAGE in the first game 14-4 as David Christensen, Jack Lynch and Marcus Skundrich hit home runs.  The whole team had their hitting shoes on as every player on the team had at least 1 hit.
In the nightcap they continued their power surge as we beat the Maricopa Titans 12-0.  David Christensen and Willie Thomas hit MAMMOTH home runs that would have been out in any park.  In fact, all 5 home runs  hit would have left any yard.  Way to go boys as we played 2 PERFECT games of baseball in all aspects, Pitching, Hitting, Fielding and Baserunning.  It was truly remarkable.
We continue the juggernaut beginning tomorrow at 11:15.
Be at the cages 1 hr before game time.

14U Weekend

The 14U team battled long and hard to make it to the CHAMPIONSHIP GAME this past weekend.
They showed their true grit as they won their first two games in their last at bats.  In the semifinal game on Sunday Gabe Hamilton pitched a gem with some misfotune and held off a feisty ASBA.  We entered play as a #1 seed in the Majoprs bracket on Sunday and eventually lost to an extremely good team.  It was a close game up to the 5th inning when they broke the game open and ended our run for the championship.
Overall, we played great baseball over the weekend and we look to continue the trend next week.
GREAT JOB 14U TEAM!
