Awesome game, Formax!!!

On Wednesday, May 26th, Gage Hill Builders hosted Formax for a 5:30 game. The weather was humid and around 90 degrees (a hot one). Needless to say, the kids were all dragging a bit, but we kept them hydrated at least.

Formax took an early lead and would go on to keep this lead until the finish. Our pitching was great, with many strike-outs. Our batting was great too, with great base-running.

What I think was the best of all was the fielding skills that the kids brought to the game. The pitcher's mound was a busy place for fielding batted baseballs. There were some great plays made by the rest of the fielders, and even a dramatic catch by Andrew in left field that really boosted the excitement of the team, coaches and fans!

Cameron closed out the 6th inning by pitching heat to end the game at a score of Formax 7, Gage Hill Builders 3 (I think). » More...

Elijah catching

Last night, the weather was absolutely perfect for baseball (except for the black flies...). Formax continued their rained-out game against Insurcomm from April 27th at Sullivan Field. They resumed the game at Beckwith, starting with the bottom of the 3rd inning, Formax at bat, with runners on 2nd and 3rd, 1 out, and the score where the game was called was Insurcomm 4, Formax 2.

Formax rallied early but Insurcomm pitching prevented Formax from pulling ahead. Elijah caught a pop fly to 3rd for an out, and made a great throw to 1st for another one... Insurcomm won the game, 8-5 (?).

Since the game was over relatively early, a second scrimmage-type game was played afterward. The batting team would go until they had 3 outs or 4 runs, whichever occurred first. In this game, Elijah got to pitch the first inning, play shortstop, and play the catcher's position a couple of innings later. He also had some great fielding, including catching a pop fly to shortstop. » More...

Ripken Coaching Certificate

Alas, it is finally official! Tonight I finally completed Coaching Youth Baseball: The Ripken Way for Babe Ruth Baseball Coaching and I am proud to announce that I am now officially a Certified Baseball Coach!

The course was fun, affordable, challenging and rewarding, and I have taken away some great information and insight into the great game of baseball. I can't believe all the practice drills and practice game suggestions that were provided...

While this is an accomplishment for me, it is also a requirement of the Dover Baseball League in order to set foot on the field in games during the season (even if it is in the role of an Assistant Coach). I am looking forward to a season full of helping and watching the players develop and enjoy themselves in doing so. We have a really promising team this year! » More...

This year, Elijah is playing in the Cal Ripken Minor (9/10) Division, for Team 4 - Formax, and I will be Assistant-coaching for the first time!
