Grasshoppers lose again

Posted on March 4, 2009 | Comments Off on Grasshoppers lose again

Need to get this in before I forget. It was last evening. The score was 5-4, a more respectible loss than the previous one. Best news was that Mr. B. broke his slump, grounding into left field off a player pitch (not so easy to do). He was thrown out at first, but only a half step from planting himself on the bag in time to be safe.

Adventures in Little League

It’s the bottom of the fourth, two outs and a runner on second base. Then a father notices the potential flaw in the runner’s getting to third, let alone home. His left shoe is untied. "Colin, tie your shoe!" the father yells from the stands. Colin looks down, sees the problem, then looks back at the stands and grins and shrugs. He doesn’t know how to tie his shoe. Luckily, on the next hit, he makes it to third, where the third base coach ties it for him.

Scrappers beat Mudcats

Not sure what the score was, in Mr. B.’s first Little League game of the season. He thought his Scrappers won 10-8. "It doesn’t matter," he said. "The idea is to have fun." He sure did, getting four hits, one run, tagged out once, and left on twice. He had a nice throw to first base, too. He’s definitely improving.

Muckdogs teeter on edge of fame

Posted on May 9, 2007 | Comments Off on Muckdogs teeter on edge of fame

If the Redwings lose to the Mets tomorrow, in the last game of the 2007 Northwest Little League season, the Muckdogs will finish as the season champs. If the Redwings win, they will be No. 1 and the dogs No. 2. The Mets were one of the dogs’ two losses in their 11 win, 2 loss season. Practice tomorrow and Saturday, either way, with tournament games to start Monday or Tuesday. In our last game yesterday, we beat Thunder by one run. Mr. B. only got to bat twice, striking out once and hitting one to left field for a double. Then, playing third base, he tagged a runner out. He’ll enjoy tomorrow’s practice, since it will be all hitting, in the batting cages.

UPDATE  The Redwings won their game and now are in first place with a season record of 11-1-1. The Muckdogs are second, with 11-2, and their first tournament game is on Tuesday. Ironically, the Redwings’ one loss was to the Muckdogs.

Muckdogs fall

Posted on April 28, 2007 | Comments Off on Muckdogs fall

Mr. Boy’s little league team took its second loss in eight games today, falling 13 to 12 to the Thunder. Mr. B., however, continued his hitting streak with three, each of them an RBI. He himself was stranded on third all three times. He was bummed at the loss, but the first snowcone of the season helped.
