Winding Down

2012 Summer baseball season for the travel players, namely mine.

YSSS's team lost in round 1 of playoffs last night...score was 8-7. He went 1-3 with a walk and a SB, got stranded on 2B twice. He really picked his game up this summer despite the way he was used; he usually batted behind two boys who couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat. He finished with a BA around .400 but cut his strikeouts down dramatically, just 3 in 39 plate appearances. Nice. We will work in the off-season so he can come back a better player.

OSSS is playing up on a 14U team that is 11-1 in regular season and gets a bye to round 2 of playoffs on Sunday. He has played well in the field and pitching; he wents 6 innings last night for the win - he ended up 3-0 on mound. His hitting (greatest strength) has dipped. He is struggling right now at the plate after a torrid start...we will hit the cages at least twice before he plays again Sunday.

Football season (August 1) almost upon us. YSSS is looking to make the 1st team of the squad he's on. Attending a football camp this week; hopefully they show him something because his coaches never did last year.
