This weekends tourney was a fiasco at best. First the original tourney directors father passed and the fill in director was uninformed as to the rules.   We had rules for a 12 and under game aplied to our game. On a technicality pitching Adam O 4 innings got him and the coach tossed. My first tossing ever. The net result was a forfiet despite a game we were still in as we were down to 7 players after the ejections.   I would like to thank our fans for their support and the team for keeping their composure. Adam O I saw the walk you had to take to let it go when you were pitching so well.  To the other players who were moving around a lot to keep us competitive my hats off to you.   You kept your heads up against another team that did not want to play baseball but wanted to back into the playoffs.   Hopefully the Hurricanes will take care of business tomorrow and send the Rockets home with the tail between their legs.   I think some of the players on that team were upset also as they just wanted to play ball as well.   Baseball is a game and I leave it to you guys to play as that is how it is supposed to be. Not adults out argueing over a kids game.  

We will try to schedule a practice for Monday at 530 at the middle school and work on a few things.   Please be there. I ask that our backups be there also as the practice will be good for all.   Tuesday we play the Vengence at the middle school at 630 and Wed we have 2 5 inning games vs the Colts at Lanse Cruese on 21 mile E of North. Next Saturday and Sunday we will play two games each day with the Hurricanes, Dearborn and Romeo coming in to play.  

Keep working hard guys I am still looking for 1 more player to fill out our roster and get past these shortages.   On a side note we are still on track to redo middle school field on July 7th with 50 tons of infield material and anyone needing community service time can show and help. I will make sure you get letters for any time worked.

Also some umpiring of 12U games have opened up and the Adams, Tyler. and Brendon want to learn to ump.   If there are others out there let me know. I am proud of the team and how we played this weekend.   I know it doesn't show in the record but I do see it coming together. Keep working and helping each others and we will be better for it as people in the end. Thanks, Coach Tim 586 362 9544
