13U Jr. Reds Open continued to show improvement on the field as they split their divisional doubleheader on Sunday May 20th dropping game 1 7-4 but coming right back and taking game 2, 7-6 in an exciting and well earned divisional split. The coaches are extremely encouraged by the team play and overall improvement and the fact that the team is playing each game with an opporunity to win. Though there certainly are signs of improvement being shown week to week, this will not continue though until each and every player makes the true committment to the team and gets themselves to each and every practice and game. Though its been a difficult learning process for all of the players as they learn how to play with all of their new teammates, Coach Oz, Annese and Accardi are stressing that the team's weekly practices are a must for all players to attend. These practices are vital for all to help continue to improve both individually and as a team. Please make all arrangements necessary to attend each week's practices.
