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

Barnstormers Fundraiser Success!


Camden and Jake accept the check from I. M. Fun

Good Work, LJB!

LJB families sold over 500 tickets to Sunday's (5/2) and Friday's (5/14) Barnstormer's games. You helped the Barnstormers by bringing fans to see them play, and you helped LJB by raising over $2,200!

Congratulations on a job well done!

Thank You!!!!!

Thank You!

On behalf of the Lancaster Junior Barnstormers Baseball Club, Bob Gantz and I would like to thank each and every one of you for your continued support, inspirational emails, unsolicited phone calls, encouraging words and constructive criticism as we move forward to our 4th season together.

As many of you know who run local baseball, softball, basketball, football, soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, hockey, and tennis organizations, it is not as easy as it seems. We have made mistakes throughout the years and we have learned from each and everyone of them.

As we move forward to 2010-2011,
  • We have implemented new options for our LJB's families including an annual membership to the Centrally Located Baseball Facilities at Lanco Field House, uniform jersey options for each team, baseball pants options (good, better and best), and more team oriented community service options.
  • We will no longer have mandatory Barnstormer ticket sales or blood drives (for the people who hate needles).  We will have fundraising options (non-mandatory) through My Sports Dreams for families that need a little more help.
  • We will have more team oriented fundraiser option for teams going to Cooperstown, Omaha, Myrtle Beach, etc.
As we move forward and realize that there are other options available to each travel baseball family, we understand that watering down the local baseball talent only hurts the players and families involved. Playing 3 games a weekend compared to 5-7 makes a difference physically, mentally and financially. The more competitive baseball games your son plays in, the better your son will get.

In 2010, the LJB's have won first place championships in 6 of our 7 age groups. Half of our teams have won 2 or more championships!! I know that winning isn't everything, but I can tell you this - when your son gets to his high school years, he is more likely to be seen by college and professional scouts/recruiters/coaches if he plays well into the showcase tournaments.

In closing, we look forward to seeing everyone at the upcoming tryouts @ Hempfield High School Campus on
August 14th @ 8am.

Thanks Again,
Larry Hess
