The Indians came to play on Monday night. They hit the ball well, they had EXCELENT pitching, and they played pretty good defense. We, the Knights… had very good pitching, played EXCELENT defense, and DID NOT HIT. We failed to score a run all night. Hits were in short supply, and there were no BIG hits. The best hit ball of the night by Eddie Dickman was caught right in front of the right field wall by a VERY DEEP playing Keith Echeveria. Our pitching in the 2 games by Kyle Faust and Lucas Nickerson (GM1)… and Rex Cone and Lucas Nickerson (GM2) looked very good… but our offence did not support them.
I got some nice pictures of the games… check out our GALLERY SECTION to see them HERE.
Positives on the night: We still had fun… Our pitching and defence looked good enough to win us a championship if we could score runs on our own… We had 2 new teammates come down and play. Welcome to the team Ron Pelluzzo and Kyle Olovson.
The biggest NEGATIVE: We had pretty good numbers (12 for GM1 and 11 for GM2), but we expected more. There were 3 big NO-SHOWS of people that said they were planning on coming… that was VERY DISSAPOINTING… especially for games at MUZZY! You know who you are.
Gentlemen… All I ask is that you communicate. If you can’t attend, let me (SCOTT) know as soon as you can… preferably a day ahead of time (or as soon as you know), so I can have time to invite some of the call up players if need be. Or if something comes up last minute, still be sure to let me know… I may not be happy, but at least I can try and work with the situation and be prepared for it. This is NOT a lot to ask. You are adults, so please be responsible and considerate to your teammates.
