Early Season Loss to Coopertown Avenged

Tonight's game against Coopertown was a sweet win to our boys considering the loss we took early in the year against this team. Brandon Waller and Austin Lindsey each hit homeruns (Brandon hit two!) and everyone was cracking the ball. Webb McCaslin hit one so hard and so far that Coach Rusty said if we had been in our park it would have been out of the park. Everyone did an excellent job of fielding for "three up/three down" almost every inning.

I will have to verify the final score, but it was around 16-0.

Way to go, Mets. The season is drawing to a close with only one more regular season game, against East Cheatham on Thursday night. Can it be over this soon? We were just getting started, weren't we?

Double Header Drama

Tonight's games were nothing if they wasn't dramatic. There were lots of emotions flaring on and off the field, it seemed. The Mets lost the first game to the Padres with a score of 7-8.

The second game seemed to last forever and the final score between the second Padres-Mets matchup was 21-6. It was during this game that Trevor hit a ball so hard that he got a standing ovation. We are so proud of the progress he has made this year, and this hit was the culmination of a season of hard work on his part! Way to go, Trevor!!

All-stars were announced tonight and congratulations are in order for the four members of our team who made the All-Star team: Austin Lindsey, Blake Waller, Jacob Hunsicker and Bailey Hooberry.

As we all know, all of our players were All-Stars in our books!!

Pitching tonight was Jacob Hunsicker, Austin Lindsey and Blake Waller.

Mets Top Out Padres Game

In yet another match against the ever-improving Padres, the Mets won out by a narrow 6-4 margin. It was an excellent pitching game by Austin Lindsey. I'm surprised his arm is still moving he pitched for so long. The game lasted close to two hours. The weather has certainly gotten warmer as well and I'm certain those boys got hot out on the field.

Congrats again Mets!! Keep it up for a few more games!
