Game 3: Mets 17 Reds 4 (Practice Sunday @ 2:00)

Thanks to Patti for working the concession stand tonight and being there early enough to help get it set up. She may have to work it every game since Bradyn went 4 for 4 including a Grand Slam.

Patti

Bradyn

Hitters of the game: Kyle, Jaxon, Byron and Bradyn all went 4 for 4. Laken, Kayla, and Aaron went 3 for 4. Kaitlyn got 2 hits.

Kaitlyn

Fielders of the game: Jaxon made two good stops at first base to get two outs. Byron got a couple of outs at 3rd and Kyle got an out at 2nd while playing centerfield. Kaylee made two very good stops at 3rd and one in the outfield. Laken made some good stops on the pitchers mound and one at shortstop.

Aaron, Jaxon, Kyle, and Kayley

Hunter, we hope you get feeling better and can rejoin us soon.

Please forgive me if I left something out. I was lucky to remember as much as I did.

We will practice this Sunday at 2:00. We'll take next Sunday off since it's Mothers Day.

HAP Coach Pitch Rules

1. Each Coach is to assign one parent per game to work in the concession stand. There is a sign up sheet located in the consession stand.
2. Coaches are to explain to the parent's that they need to arrive at 5:00 on the day they are to work the concession stand to help get the food started.
3. The games will begin at 5:30. All warm-ups need to take place prior to 5:30.
4. No inning will begin after 6:45.
5. The home team is the bottom team listed on the schedule.
6. It is the home team's coach that will be responsible for lining the field.
7. The child that is playing in the position of the pitcher must have one foot on the pitching rubber until the ball is hit.
8. Players will advance 1 base on an infield hit.
9. The runner must stop after the ball is in the infield and "Time Out" is called.
10. All innings except the last will have a 5 run limit.
11. The last inning does not have a run limit.
12. All innings will end after three outs have been obtained.

(These are the rules that were given to me. As long as the other coach and I agree there may be some changes from game to game. I have had no problems with other coaches trying to get by with anything. It's just hard to be too specific with the rules and even we don't know exactly how to handle certain situations. From what I have heard from other leagues we are lucky to have the sportsmanship we have in our coach pitch league.)

Game 2: Mets 14 Cardinals 11

Update on Hunter:
Hunter has a hair-line fracture. No further treatment should be needed. He is doing well and was able to con his mom into getting some ice cream after he went to the emergency room. I've seen grown men cry when hit that hard but Hunter didn't cry once. He asked the doctor when he could play again and he said as soon as he feels like it. Hopefully he will be able to play Thursday.


Thanks to Erica for working the concession stand. Hopefully she got to see Aaron's big hit when he knocked in the fifth run in the second inning.

Aaron

Hitters of the game. Grant(Big Guy), Kyle, Jaxon and Byron all went 3 for 3 and all scored 3 times. Laken was 2 for 2 and hit the ball real hard both times. Bradyn, Aaron, and Kaitlyn each got a hit.

Fielders of the game. Hunter made the best stop, unfortunately it was with his nose. He was in perfect position, the ball just took a big hop on him. Big Guy made some big stops and got a runner out at 3rd and home. Byron made a good stop and tagged the runner coming to 3rd. Kyle made a good stop but his coach(me) was yelling for him to throw it to the wrong base. My bad Kyle.

Kayla gave it her best try after being sick all day but had to stop after a couple of innings. I hope you start to feel better.

Kayley, we missed you. I hope you're better by Thursday.

I'm sure I'm leaving something out but if anyone can remember something else feel free to add it in the comments.

See you Thursday.
