We played Dale's Drunks in the first round and had 10 strikeout's as a team. Needless to say thats not good and we went on to lose and be eliminated in the first round for the first time in a long time with a score of 6-5. Let's hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

Our Team Stand Outs were:
MVP Paul Van Benschoten 1.000 AVG(12-12), 1.000 OBP(12-12), 2.000 SLG, 2R, 1B, 2B, 3B

Honorable Mention Dustin Martin .667 AVG, .667 OBP, 1.000 SLG, 1B, 2B, 2-RBI's

In this pre-season warm up tournament we finished in 2nd place going 2-1. The first game we played Carlisle&Fitch and won 13-3 after 5 innings, everything seemed to be working for us in this game. Next up we played the Heat and had a battle, after being down 9-3 after the 1st inning we clawed are way back scoring in all 7 innings, propelling us to a 17-15 win. Then we played dirty truckers for 1st place, both teams were undefeated, and they proved to have the better conditioned legs and went on to beat us 12-4 to win the tournament.

This was Round 2 of the Pre-Season Warm Up Round Robins and we had a tough draw this time. Up first we had Heat who we narrowly defeated last week and this week wouldn't be any different, as we etched a 27-21 victory in a game were defense was optional apparently. Next up we had Covington Moose Lodge/Lights Out and they gave us a thorough thumping on the scoreboard and on the field as they beat us 22-8 and knocked our pitcher temporarily out of the game with a laser beam off of his foot. It wouldn't get any easier for the ole ball club because next up we had Good Guys the 2011 C NSA World Champions. Surprisingly enough though we hung in there with them through all 7 frames but still came up on the short side of a 20-13 loss. All in all a bad night for the RA club as defense was played at a t-ball level, injury's were common, a truck window was busted out, and we finished 4th out of 6.(not very good)But on the positive side our bats were pretty solid and in some cases down right smoking hot, let's hope that continues!
Our Team Stand Outs were:
MVP Nick Ziegler 1.000 AVG(12-12), 1.000 OBP(12-12), 1.410 SLG, 9-1B, 2B, 2-3B's, 4-RBI's
Co-MVP Ryan Vaughn .800 AVG, .818 OBP, 1.000 SLG, 3R, 7-1B, 3B, BB, 8-RBI's
Honorable Mention Mike Mcgrath .625 AVG, .700 OBP, .750 SLG, 5R, 4-1B, 2B, 4 RBI's, 3 BB

In the first round of this 2-n-out tournament we played Last Call and are gloves were the best they've been all year as we twisted 3 double plays and didn't make an error en route to a 12-7 win. In the 2nd round we had to play Who's Next and the gloves were just as amazing and we hit the cover off of it as well, which carried us to a 18-3 win! In the winners brackett finals we had to play a hot young team named PSI Chamberlain/Young and Restless and they got the better half of us as we lost 17-10. The next game would be the loser's brackett finals and Last Call had battled there way back to get a re-match. In they rematch they bested us 15-14 in a very close game. We finished 3rd with a reord of 2-2.
