Everyone really seemed to enjoy themselves. I didn't recognize you without your orange shirts! We sure had a great season. Keep checking the blog, Randy is thinking about getting everyone together for a cookout at the park. Let us know what you think about that idea.

Championship Game: Mets 18 Cardinals 2

2009 HAP Coach Pitch Regular Season and Tournament Undefeated Champions

Hunter, Grant(Big Guy), Kayla, Kaitlyn, Laken, Kayley, Aaron, Bradyn, Byron, Kyle, and Jaxon.

The Mets concluded their HAP season winning the championship game 18 to 2 verses the Cardinals. Their record for all HAP games was 14 and 0. I've heard other coaches in different leagues and age groups complain about some of their parents but I've been very fortunate to have the kids and the parents that I've had this year. Thank you to all parents for having your kids there and for not complaining about my coaching decisions, at least not to me. Thank you to Breck and Donnie, and others that filled in when they couldn't be there, for helping me coach. A big thank you to my wife Angie for keeping the scorebook, controlling the dugout, and taking pictures. Hopefully we can get together for a final Mets party sometime after the HAP pool party.

Some of those parents, Deana, Kris, Sandy, and David.

Hitters of the game: Kyle got 4 hits and drove in about 6 runs. Grant, Jaxon, Byron, and Laken each got 3 hits. Hunter, and Kayla got 2 hits and Bradyn, Aaron, and Kaitlyn each got a hit.

Fielders of the game: Jaxon got two outs at first. Kyle got two outs and Grant threw to Jaxon for an out. Laken made a good stop at second. I have the most trouble remembering all the plays in the field so forgive me if I forget to mention something someone did.

See everyone Wednesday at the pool party. Remember to bring a 2-liter of pop.
