Fall Practice Update



It is the halfway point in our fall season, so it is time to update everyone on how the team is shaping up. With the majority of the team underclassmen, you might look at our roster and deem us young and inexperienced. But after three weeks of practice, and two weekends of games, this team has started to mesh together and starting to look like a ball club that has played with each other for awhile and creating a special chemistry unlike any we have had here before. Our first weekend out, the nerves got the best of some of the rookies and veterans, and you saw some mistakes made. But this past weekend, the offense exploded for 19 runs and stole over 10 bases in two games, and the pitching staff allowed only 1 run, 5 hits, and 15 K's in two games combined. Though we moved alot of people around and changed up the lineup in the middle of each game, the defense played very well and we are starting to see how versatile our team can be. We have two weekends of games remaing to get better: Oct. 4th vs. Washburn (KS) University (DH), and Oct. 11th vs. Butler County (KS) Community College (DH).
