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.

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:
Saturday 24 May 9:30 - 11:30 rematch against the BrewersSaturday 31 May 11:00 - 13:30 rematch against the Devil RaysSaturday 7 June 9:30 - 11:30 rematch against the Red Socks (End of Season Barbecue and Awards Ceremony at Rosinka to follow play).

May Day
Dear Parents of Machine Pitch A's,
We had a great game last Sunday, with a 17 - 0 victory over the Red Sox. We were helped by the Holiday Weekend Schedule, as many of the Red Sox' best players were absent. They will have a chance to even up the record when we meet them again on June 7. For now, though, our Athletics continue to lead the Machine Pitch league, thanks both to solid hitting and some remarkable fielding. Mert is headed for a "Golden Glove" award from his place on the pitcher's mound. This week, our game will be on Saturday morning at 9:30, so please, don't let your girls and boys stay up all night watching the fireworks. (We have a great view from our 20th story apartment, which, by the way, is for sale....) We will be playing against the Braves. I have only had one of the Braves at our SW Moscow batting practice, and he hit almost every ball pitched to him, so let's be ready for a tough game.
Play Ball!
Todd Kerns, Coach
