Softball and Baseball Comes to a Close

As softball and baseball comes to a close for Trey and Mya we are ready for a short but much needed break.  Both had a very good season this year.  I was Head Coach for Mya's U8 team and Asst. for Trey's U8 team.  Both teams were a lot of fun to be a part of.  They are all great kids!  Our Softball team finished with a record of 9-6 and 4th in the tournaments.  In tournament play, Mya went 13 for 16 from the plate and threw out several batters with great throws to first base.  I know it doesn't sound like much but at this age (6-8yrs) if they can connect for a throw out, it looks awesome.  It's a great accomplishment for those girls. Mya will be staying in U8 for one more year and I will be coaching again.

Trey's team played extremely well all year as well.  I was not able to be to all of his games due to conflicts with Mya's games.  I am not sure of their record but I believe we only lost 1 game in the regular season.  The team had a round robin like tournament.  We went 3-1 and tied for first place.  We beat Gibsonburg on Sat. 20-16 and then on Sun. they came back to beat us 13-12.  Two great games and the kids played hard.  Trey had some great #'s for the tournament.  He went 13 for 13 with a Triple, and three Doubles.  He played short stop the whole tournament and made a ton of smart plays!  Trey will be moving up to U10 next year.  He wants to start working on pitching to see if that is a possibility for next season.
