Assume his parents have the cash to back up that Ivy league dream or his family has a financial need....since they don't pass out athketic scholarships.

They are JUST FINE.
And while ivy’s don’t offer athletic scholarships they do seem to put together “academic packages” or “grants” for athletes that helps.

Haha. Funny, but true story:

I played the first ever night game under the new lighting system there. Maybe 1994 or 1995? It was against Shrub Oak. Some local politicians gave a bunch of speeches and a 8pm start turned into 9pm. A high scoring game kept it going until midnight when the lights went out. They were on a timer and nobody knew how to get them back on. They had to postpone the game and resume the next day.

I agree. night games were electric!

Only the little field at Crane got lights. My last year before going to big diamond. You were older so you never got the chance. It was pretty awesome, because the big field was pitch black so when you bombed one over the OF's heads it disappeared into the night.

Fairly busy weekend of baseball, one game tomorrow and 2 Sunday, where else would I want to be than a ball field on father’s day! Hopefully he keeps is hitting momentum going. He’s been practicing his ass off. I should count the swings per week, It would be a freaking  crap ton!

Son pitched an immaculate inning in his last game to end  this year's High school season. Threw 9 pitches, 9 strikes and 3 strikeouts, not an easy task.

5 innings pitched, 5 hits, 3 walks 2 k’s 2 runs (none earned-bases loaded full count gets the 5 hitter to pop out to right-2nd baseman doesn’t yield to RF and drops it.
78 pitches …49 strikes.

2-1 loss

We couldnt get the right hit at the right time: also had a runner make the last out at third with lead off coming to the plate.

Son struggled at the plate, he went 0-4, 2ks a ground out and a pop up to center field. At least he pitched well 4 innings no hits no runs.  So at least he had that going for him!!

Pending a Clarence win, can we arrange for the AA state championship game between Mahopac and Clarence? If it’s a sanctioned GTG the state can’t stop it?

Not quite. I was thinking out of state so Cuomo can’t stop it. Maybe Appalachian State?

Finally took pictures with my cell phone last night. It was her last game of the season and she went 5-5 with 2 RBI’s. It’s 8U and they don’t keep track of stats but still a good game. They ended up losing by 1 after it was decided to go an extra inning. The rules are very very loose. Lol.

If it was older kids I would agree with you but most 8U girls are lucky to hit it in the air past the pitcher. Most hits are on the ground and roll to the picture. I'd be more worried about a missed throw!
