GAME CENTRAL - Okay to Brag: Week 3

1 for 2 with a double, two walks and a RBI.

Was just wondering where week 3 was?

Struck out 10, walked 5, allowed 3 hits; 1 for 2 with a walk, 2 RBI driving in tying and go ahead runs for the win, 2 runs scored. This is the third game he has produced the winning run!

Game one on Weds--2-4, 3 RBI, R scored. BA up to .476. Another game Friday night.

Finally a great weather and a better day at the ball park. Son went 2 for 4 - hit by pitch - 3 rbi's and best of all beat our arch rival 16 -2

My team lost by I pitched 4 2/3 and only gave up one earned. I came in in relief and got out of a 1 out bases loaded jam.

mtownfan:

I'm proud of you...you did what you could to help your team...and you did it well!

my son has been the closer all year, we had 2 huge conf games this week mon,fri won both by 1 run each. in the 2 games he went 5 innings no hits or runs 1 walk 11 Ks so far on the year somewhere around 24 or 25 innings and 50+ Ks he's a soph lhp and was up to 86 mph monday dont know today but had alot of movement.

I would like to say, The Team after not having a very good game yesterday.

That the the EH's son came back today, by going 3 for 4 with 2 line drive single's and the first HR of the Season.

I'm very proud of him, for not letting a bad game get you down, and coming back the next day with a positive attitude.

They won the Game with a runner on 2nd, the EH's son on 1st in the bottom of the 7th, with a Walk off HR, by the only Freshman on the Varsity team. with a clean shot over left center field fence. The freshman doesn't Weigh more than 145#. It just goes to show you don't have to be big to hit the ball hard. the EH

theEH:

Good for your son and his team! Just goes to show that everyday is "anything can happen day!"

I'm sure the team will continue to do well! Keep us posted.

Big conference game tonight both teams undefeated in conf play. Jeff homers in his third ab a 2 run shot. Goes 2-3 on the night with 1 IBB. Most importantly we win 6-5 to go 4-0 in conference play. Through 14 games Jeff has now hit 8 hr's has 24 rbi's with a slugging percentage well over a thousand hitting .560. I am very proud of him. He has been so patient at the plate seeing cb after cb out of the zone and getting maybe one pitch to hit each ab. He is not missing it when he gets it. A great win for us tonight.

threw a 1 hitter and hit a 400 foot bomb. Won 3-1. Hit 91 on the gun.

Proud of son and whole team. Had another double header today. First game, my son pitched his third shutout of the year. Struck out 14, hit a triple and a double in game one. So far has pitched 24 innings, 49 strikeouts, no runs scored and a zero ERA. Amazingly pitched well today as the weather was 42 degrees with a hefty wind chill factor on top of that. Team won game two 5 to 0. They were glad to get on a warm bus for the 3 1/2 hour trip home.

Son went 5-for-7 with a walk in two games, both wins. Had a solo homer, 2 doubles, and 2 singles, 4 RBI's. Raised average to .524. Threw 5 innings giving up 1 earned run.

Son threw 8 innings, 5 hits, 1BB, 6K's, 1 ER as his team increased their lead to 2 1/2 games. Son's record is now 10-0

More like LAMENT rather than BRAG:

Team is 1-5, Junior is 0-3, with an ERA around 1.5, 2CG ['only' went 6.1 in the other start!! ]18K, 2BB. Lost a 4 hitter the other day 6-4, with 0 earned runs, 6 Es in the first 2 innings, 7K, 1BB, 84 pitches, 1 baserunnner after the 2nd inning, 6 balls left the infield all game.

In his varsity 'career' he has lost a 3 hitter, 2 4hitters, a 5 hitter and 2 6 hitters - he's going nuts!! [runs in the family!]

Windmill, now he needs to put a bat in his hands and really finish the job.

well i came in to relief today on JV and this is how i did in 2 innings
4k 1bb 1h 0er
hitting i went 1-2 with a fly out to DEEP left and and 3 run homer straight away center
i enjoyed gettin the props from all the varstiy players and seniors best tho

Christopher_91:

Do ya' wanna' another prop from a senior ?

Here's to ya' kiddo...good game...keep it going!

thanx

You're very welcome kiddo...now please pass me my Polident!

1 for 3 with two walks, a homerun. Also 4 inning pitched with zero earned runs and four strike outs only giving up one hit.

Keep up the good work player ! peace, Shep

Jeffs incredible Soph season continues. Tonight 3-3 ground rule double and two singles and a bb. 26-45 .577 avg 8 hrs 8 dbls 18 bb's with 23 rbi's through 16 games. The best part is we won 10-2 to go to 5-0 in conference play.

My son is a freshman catcher at a 4A (highest) division school in Oregon. Yesterday he was pulled up to the varsity from the JV. His goal all year was to make varsity as a freshman, and so he is thrilled.

Rob, congrats to your son. Tell him to work hard and maybe we will see you in the playoffs. Teams goal is to go undefeated this year. They are working hard to maintain that goal.

The hot bat continues. 3-4, 2 doubles, RBI, R last night. Also threw in a pick-off of a runner at first from behind the plate for good measure.

Son threw 8 innings, gave up one ER. 116 pitches, no walks, 15 strikeouts. We lost game in 9th so he gets no decision. More proud of how he handled himself afterwards; hugging and talking to other players, instead of sulking. was pitching against 7 of his summer teammates - they surrounded him on the mound and as happy as they were to beat us and take over first place in district, they wanted him to know how good he had been. That's why we spend the money on baseball; to meet great kids and great families who teach our kids great lessons.

Hintite ~ That's beautiful! Thx for sharing!

Hintite:

That is a good story...your son did well...often it's not easy to pitch against a bunch of former teammates.

Give your son a pat on the back from me!

Thanks collikar and gw4$! They will all be teammates this summer again, probably for the last time as a group. Quick get me a hanky, seems I need one all the time these days. Senioritis effects mom completely differently.

Great job Hintite! The emotional thing affects men too! We just like to pretend like it doesn't. You must be so proud of your son and rightly so! When our kids do well and make us proud and happy, AND become adults and we have to start letting go, they're almost done with HS and we're getting older! Thats a lot of stuff to get emotional about. When my kids do something to make me proud I have to wonder how I could have been so lucky in life, and sometimes I get so choked up it's hard to talk for a bit!
Way to go!!!

HS Freshman son om JV got his first appearance 2 weeks ago in relief and got hit with a combacker on his first pitch. Sprained thumb on his pitching hand.

Got the start Wednesday. Result: 6 innings pitched, 2 runs unearned, 2 walks, 54 pitches, and got the win.

Last 2 games, Son, 5 for 6, 2BB, 2HR.
5 inning's pitched, 2 hits, no BB, 9K's, Complete game Win.

Senior yr. I know it's going to be emotional last game.
More for the Parent's, I think.

I'm with you Innocent Bystander, How can we be so Lucky.

Life is Good. the EH
