Bucks Played Great Ball Despite 11-2 Loss

The Bucks played Meridianville tonight in the intense cold for their first game of the season. You could feel the excitement and nervousness in our boys or that could have been just their teeth chattering. Even though the Bucks lost 11-2 it was great to see the team in action. Taylor, was our starting pitcher and threw some real smoke to the plate the first two innings. Justin came in the 3rd and 4th innings to close out the game and he threw some terrific pitches as well. There were a few calls from Blue that did not go our way and you could really sense the frustration from the fans and the players. After Blue got the crowd settled down, he reversed one call and called Brian SAFE at home as the Meridianville catcher dropped the ball on the tag. But after all was said and done, the Bucks played great baseball and never got down. The Bucks played with a lot of heart tonight. Remember Bucks, we get to play these guys again.

WOW, can that David "The Flash" Ray run! He stole two bases and ran down a player at third from the outfield. Adam stole two bases but was hung out to dry on third as the Bucks struck out. Josh made two outs at home plate that truly made his father ecstatic (I'm his dad...shhhhhhhh).

I hope to get the stats from tonights game posted over the next few days as well as a few pics. Also, if anyone has a really good digital camera and would like to take some pics at the games for the website, I could really use the help. I've been using my daughter's camera and it doesn't have the best quality, especially at night. We will also be adding some video from the games shortly.

Please, don't forget we need five volunteer parents for Thursday nights practice for concessions.... It is the Bucks turn and it is from 5:30 to park closing.
