Coaches and parents alike are extremely happy of how their kids are performing in the field as well. Game ball was awared to Eddie Ruela. Great Job Eddie.. keep on pounding the baseball.. !!

4/25/09 - The temperature was hot and so were the bats of these Green Machine. Brandon Salichs had 3 hits which included two rocket propelled doubles in the 1st and 3rd innings. He also had (3) unassisted putouts in the field showing that this team can also flash some leather.. Gianni DePaz gave a clinic on how to field a ground ball with (3) putouts in the 1st inning and also contributing with (3) hits. When it comes to hustle, no one seems to do it better than Shaheem Houston.. You have to be ready to get the ball over to the base quickly when this little guy is running the base paths..
A speed demon who also goes after it on every ball. Once again, these kids seem to have a knack for hitting a baseball just ask Coach DePaz about Matthew Walsh who continues to rip the baseball. Matt had another excellent day at the plate with a screaming double and (2) hits. Game Balls were awareded to Brandon Salich and Gianni DePaz.. Congratulations boys!! Keep playing excellent defense!

Tball team Station Cab - DePaz for Saturday April 25.

Basic understanding of the game is improving greatly. There were many plays to first on ground balls and second basemen and shortstop are beginning to cover 2nd base uninstructed. Well done everyone! We gave away 2 game balls today. The first goes to Gianni because even though he injured his toe and knee badly on Friday off the field, he wanted to play and play he did. He had 3 throws to First for outs and had some very good at bats. The second ball goes to Brandon for 2 double plays while he was playing short stop by fielding the ball, stepping on second and throwing to first. Brandons bat was also on fire with him consistantly hitting the ball into the grass everytime. Congrats G and Brandon!
