Baseball Saturday at 11:00

Dear Parents of Machine Pitch A's,

This Saturday we will have the classic "Big Game." If our A's beat the Devil Rays, then it will be mathematically impossible for us not to be the league champions. If we lose, then it is likely that we will share the title with the Devil Rays. The Rays have some older boys who are great hitters, but on the whole, I think that our younger, smaller team has consistently better players, and we will have a very good chance on Saturday. I encourage you to make sure your girls and boys are well rested, and that they get some practice somehow before Saturday.

I need a volunteer to bring snacks on Saturday.

Also, I think I left my clip-board at the last game. Can an AAS parent please check lost and found for me? It will be obvious, as it has a team roster on it which includes the name of your child.

See you at the game!

P.S. The final game of the season will a Saturday 7 June 9:30 - 11:30 rematch against the Red Socks. We are trying to work out the details of a barbecue and awards ceremony that day.

GAME CANCELLED

Dear Parents,

In order to avoid damage to the baseball fields, and to our children, all of tomorrow's games will be cancelled.

See you May 31.

Baseball Saturday at 9:30 against the Brewers. +New Pics!

Dear Parents of Machine Pitch A's,

We had a very tough game against the Orioles last Saturday, but our girls and boys played wonderfully. The A's won 10-5. The A's now lead the league with a 5-0 record, and we have beat every team in the league.

This week we return to a normal, Saturday 9:30 game schedule with our rematch against the Brewers. While we beat them in the opening game of the season, they are a much better team now. They have a name, uniforms that fit, and a lot more experience. They are the third-ranked team, and have beat everyone except the A's and the Devil Rays. So, let's make sure our kids get a good night's sleep on Friday night and are on Field #1 early to get some practice in before the game.

I still need a volunteer to bring snacks on Saturday .

See you at the game!

P.S. The final two games of the season will all be on Saturdays, but the times will vary:

Saturday 31 May 11:00 - 13:30 rematch against the Devil RaysSaturday 7 June 9:30 - 11:30 rematch against the Red Socks

A's 10-Orioles 5

The hardest game of the season so far which tested our fielding and general baseball knowledge. We came out on top 10-5 but it could have gone either way. The next two opponents are the 2nd and 3rd place teams in the league and have gotten much better since we last played them. I think they will be hard fought close contests.

Thanks to Tracy and Steven for the pictures and Hatice for the great cookies!

Game on Sunday

Dear Parents of Machine Pitch A's,

We had fast, fun, five-inning game last Saturday which gave us a 15 - 3 victory over the Braves. With the season half over, we lead the league with four wins and no losses!

Our girls and boys are doing great with batting, running, fielding, and with showing good sportsmanship on the field. They will need all of these, as in the next three weeks they will face the three toughest teams in the league. Our kids need to be ready, as these teams will not be easy to beat.

Our game this week will be on SUNDAY at 1:30 p.m. on Lower Field #1. We play against the Orioles, a tough team that we have never played against. Rain or shine, be sure to be there, as it will be the day we take our Team Photograph. Make sure your child is dressed in T-shirt and cap, as we do not have any extras.

I still need a volunteer to bring snacks on Sunday.

See you there,

Todd Kerns

P.S. The final three games of the season will all be on Saturdays, but the times will vary:
