I am going to start out by telling you when our first game is. This might get a few more people to come out and cheer us on. The support of the community means a great deal to us. Our first game is tomorrow, May 22. It has been a very anticipated day to all of us baseball players. What makes it great, is that we get to play a team that we don't like that much. That team is the Harlan Cyclones. We probably like Kuemper more than we like Harlan. They are just one of those teams that we have never gotten along with. We are the opposite of PB&J.
The Harlan Cyclones' strength is just that, their strength. If they get a hold of a fastball, it will go a ways. This is why we are going to need to pitch some of our better pitchers tomorrow. We definately can't leave any fastballs going straight across the plate. Steven has a very good curve-ball so I anticipate that he will be pitching tomorrow. The coaches are going to have to know the other teams' batters so we know what to pitch to them.
We also have strengths of our own. If someone does get a hold of a ball and it goes a long ways into the outfield, we have the speed to get to those balls. Kevin Durkoff is the senior leader of the outfield. He shows great leadership during practice and helps out the younger kids a lot. Anthony Beyerink is in center field. He is the fastest person on the team and that is the reason that he is there. He can get to virtually any ball. Nate O'Brien is in left field. He to has a lot of speed. We are going to need these key players tomorrow in the field.
In our batting order, we have some pretty powerful seniors. These seniors include Chance, Steven, Will and Hayden. When these guys get the bat on the ball, it can go very far. These seniors will hopefully lead us to a victory with their bats. We can't forget about the fielding though. That is a very important part also. A win to start off the season would be a great start.
