Bucks vs Hazel Green 4/25/08 Part 1

The first in a three part series.

Apology

Jill and I would like to sincerely apologize for what occurred at the Hazel Green game and our actions. Our kids played a great game and deserve the recognition for doing such. Let's put the emphasis on how well the Bucks played and not on the actions of Jill, I or anyone else involved.

Josh's ear looks horrible, but he is going to be fine. We watched the footage and Josh is trying to catch the ball coming from 2nd base when the player running from third plows him from the side spinning Josh and the ball hits him square in the ear.

You may have noticed that we are showing this game as a tie instead of a 1 run game in favor of HG. That is because after watching the footage Tony will most likely protest the game. Again , we apologize to each and everyone of you.

Bucks Tie Hazel Green in Extra Innings 5-5

Hey Buck's fans!!!! Well Tuesday's game with Hazel Green was full of excitement... On the diamond and outside the fence. With the Bucks down two games they came to play ball.... and play some ball they did. The Bucks pulled out their secret weapon Brian Marsh as starting pitcher. Man has this kid got an arm. Brian was also all over the infield playing some great defense as well. But he wasn't the only one that showed up to play...the entire team played outstanding ball. The defense has really come together with beautiful throws to first from third by Taylor and an outstanding infield pop fly catch from Cameron. The outfield was on their toes as well stopping everything that came their way. Our closing pitcher Justin, really showed some maturity and closed the game out in extra innings with the Bucks and Hazel Green tied 5-5.

Hazel Green is no slouch ball team. These kids are well organized and known hitters. But the Bucks would not be intimidated and held on to keep the game tied. As I watch these boys improve week after week I have to believe they are starting to get the confidence they lacked the first games of the season. The game day jitters are not such a distraction and the mistakes are fewer and fewer. We play Hazel Green again tonight and I know the Bucks can pull this one out.

We seem to have a shouting match going with the Hazel Green fans. So Buck's Bleacher Broads.... LET'S MAKE SOME NOISE!!!... But let's be civil... we need you in the stands not in the parking lot with two county deputies hauling you off to jail... The BBB's are not the only ones that can make some noise... All Buck fans hoop and hollar for our boys tonight. Let's make Hazel Green think they're back in New Market. Go Bucks!!!!
