Wow mood! Maybe you ought to talk the concession stand bunch into ordering up a lot of those mini-marshmallows after all! You guys will be drawing a crowd!

Congratulations to the team...that's an accomplishment against a tough foe!

Explanation? Wasn't it reported that the quake off Japan's coast tilted the earth on its axis just very slightly? Well? Here's an after effect: GB East sweeping DG North!

Macomb record 4 - 1. The boys are in the middle of a week with 7 games scheduled in 6 days. Headed to Abingdon tonight.

Well I've been accused off being slightly tilted off my axis

We'll take it Woody! I'm gonna credit the leftover vibes from the Basketball trip to the final 4 last weekend in Peoria !!

We'll see how they stack up against #7 Plainfield North this afternoon.

Naperville Central 10
Lyons Township 1

The defending state champs may have more going for them than most people (including me) thought. Tough game against Neuqua on Saturday coming up.

Lockport 13
Downers Grove North 7

Wow. Nice win by Naperville Central !

Glenbard East did not fare so well against a tough Plainfield North team.

PN 11
GE 1 six innings.

We'll see what the weekend brings.
Mood Jr. scheduled to get his first start of the season at Lake Park on Saturday.

Oswego 8-5 over Morris

Rest assured Hawk fans, this is the type of score you expect to see!

Lincolnway North 9
Lincolnway East 3

Harper, LHP, signed with St. Joe's looked very strong.

LWN games are on Game Changer.

Macomb 8
Abingdon 2

Headed to Moline on Friday.

Maine West FRESHMAN 6
Rolling Meadows FRESHMAN 5

Not that many people care ... but the kids have been working hard and those kids are the future of HS baseball!

There were so many things I was taking notes on that we needed to work on that at one point I forgot what the score was ... after all it is about teaching them at that level, wins and losses are secondary to development!

I threw 3 pitchers during the game with my starter going 3 and 52 pitches. The next two guys threw 2 each and 26 and 43 pitches respectively.

One of the players I work with in the off-season (another freshman) threw 6 innings and 96 pitches (in 37 degree weather) - SOME OF THESE COACHES ARE OUT OF THEIR MIND.

.

Wow! Excitement in the Land of the Lincolnways!

Thanks for the score.




.

.

And thanks for your report as well Nelson...you're doing it right!



.

Lemont 10----Minooka 0---Josh Ferry can pitch---Minooka 4-2 overall

.

"Josh Ferry can pitch"

You ain't joshin' are ya'?



.

In the game against Minooka he threw a perfect game.

.

Congratulations to Josh! What a feeling he must have had to pitch a gem like that?

The only thing I've ever pitched that could even be considered close to his accomplishment is this...



...and even they weren't close. They were ringers!

And afterward you should have seen my horse, Jackson! We thanked him for his generous contribution to the game and then we nicknamed him "Shoeless Toe" Jackson.

None of this clip clopping for him anymore. Now it's: "Hi Ho! Tip Toe! Away!"

Macomb 1
Moline 10

Tough result, Western Illinois bound Fuller pitched a gem against our squad.

.

You guys are going to have to find a way for another "1" to sidle up to the "1" you already have. Do that and you would have won 11-10.

I know, I know..."Easier sidle than done!"

Thanks for the report.

Oak Park River Forest High School sets tournament record with 14 homre runs in 4 games

Nice to see IL. team do well out of state, but conference games started today, schools that take spring trips should be held to conference schedules.

Oswego 9-2 over Aurora Catholic Central.

CSG,
My son's school never schedules any local games over spring break and every two or three years they head down to Florida during that time. The team is there right now and I'm sure making memories to last a life time.They will get their conference games in and from the looks of the local forcast many games will be rescheduled anyway.

Lake Park is currently 3-2 after our spring break. Lost 10-4 to Prospect, 13-1 against Schaumburg. Beat Glenbard North 11-8 and Glenbard East 5-2 and 2-1. We have played much better over the past three games. Much improved defense and our pitchers are throwing strikes. What a concept.

We had 11 errors in the first two games and only two in the last three.

Lake Park is just south of Schaumburg. We play in the Upstate Eight Valley Division with Neuqua Valley, Waubonsie Valley, Metea Valley, South Elgin, Bartlett, and East Aurora.

You picked a fine time to get on track DC !! Those were a couple good games on Saturday against our GE Rams. Good pitching on a blustery day. Turner knows he got a gift walk in the 3rd in the first game. But credit to you guys for stepping up with four runs after two outs against Mood Jr.

GE needs to get their heads in the game at the plate. Too many strikes into the catchers glove without a swing.

And your shortstop is a stud in the field. Keep up the good work.

.

Toss back a handful mood...you'll feel better!






.

Hah! Woody. Sure didn't start out like a hot chocolate day on Saturday but coulda used some when the clouds came out.

Mood:

Glad to see someone is following GE baseball. We at Central appreciate winning games against GE, but it sure does not look like those kids were having much fun. Hopefully your kids are at least having fun this year.

Mood, they were very good games. Your son did a nice job on the mound. Walters has GE on the right track. Turner's sac bunt he beat out impressed me. I liked your leadoff hitter, he was a pain. Good luck in conference!

Thanks DC. I was happy with Patrick's job on the mound especially considering it was his first start after a long exhausting but awesome basketball season.

Nick T is lightning quick. He and Patrick play together for the Seminoles so I had to give him a hard time. When he laid that bunt down and I saw the GE pitcher non chalant it I knew it was a hit.

Good luck to you guys the rest of the way.

And Maui....you're welcome for the BP and practice games the last few years I think we might give you guys a little more effort this year. We'll see you at the end of the month

Mood:

Just take it easy on the lefty, he can barely break a pane of glass with his fastball.

Naperville Central 6
Joliet Catholic 2

WP- Lewandowski, who goes to 3-0 and has only given up 2 earned runs in 13 innings

The team plays well when Lewandoski and Ludwig pitch, they will have to figure out that these two cannot pitch every inning.

The big test will be Thursday night (if it doesn't rain) when the lefty goes against Providence.

.

I remember those guys from last year...
