Gone Fishin'!

As you all know, we are on a team hiatus until practice on July 7. Let's get healthy; I've never seen so many injuries in such a short period of time. Take the time to have fun, enjoy the summer, or work on your softball skills individually. We are halfway through ... three more tourneys to go. Let's finish strong

Best of luck to all players playing HS ball this spring, and for any who are beginning tryouts on Feb. 24! Hustle, hustle, hustle and be a good teammate -- HS coaches notice those things. And remember, the single most important thing to being a good hitter is to get a good pitch to hit. Not every strike is a good pitch to hit -- jump on the belt-high fastball, mistake pitch, and lay off  "pitcher pitches" until you have two strikes.
