16U Reigns at Ripken!

Wow!!
I'm really proud of the job all the guys did this weekend, all the way down to Pete & Joe Darrenkamp there for us on Sunday throwing BP and motivating the guys, to Coach Wilt being there for us on Saturday to help us get our groove going, and Colby Conway texting/calling every sunday for the last two months!!!!!!! And let's not forget what Big John Wilt will bring to this team when he decides he wants to play with us again.............. :)
Three pitchers had complete games: Casanova, Young, and Martin. Our bats woke up on Sunday, and we played the Barnstormer defense that we have been bragging about when we went out recruiting additional help!!!!!
A pair of home runs by Adam Marshall and in the championship game MVP, Nate Shank, were big as well!!!!
Two others I'd like to say props to, Mac Mcafferty for calling all the pitches, and to Mr. Ian Bentley who went 4 for 4 in the championship game and oh yeah, got the win after we pulled Adam because of a 30 minute rain delay.
Great job,
Coach Eby
