Wow! Was this a great weekend of baseball. We started out 2-0 and then lost 4 in a row, and finished second in our bracket after pulling off 2 wins in the last day.

4-5 was the final record but we beat the 3^rd and 2^nd seed team on the last day of the winner’s bracket and lost to the #1 seed in the finals of our bracket.

I started the first game and we opened out to an 11 to 2 lead so I was pulled after the 2^nd inning to save me for the second game. I picked up the win in the first game and then started the second game. I went 4 innings in that game and picked up the win in that game also! I have never picked up 2 wins as a pitcher in one day. We as a team really picked up the hits for the last day.

Here is what I was able to do for the tournament: 15 for 27 = .555 average.

                                                                                        22 for 35 = .629 OBP.

                                                                                       Walks – 6

                                                                                        Doubles- 5

                                                                                       RBI’s – 6

                                                                                        Steals- 7

                                                                                       Runs scored – 13

We were able to bring the club “CNY Thunder” home its first trophy with our last day finish.

I leave Wednesday 7-8-09 for the Ohio Buckeye baseball Elite showcase tournament. I will update when I get there for the 2pm showcase.

7-3-09 Day 3 in the Beast of the East tournament.

Well we started with a bang and the last 2 games have not been so good for the team, we lost the last 2 games and we are 2-2.

The bright spot for me is in the last 2 games I’m 3 for 5 with 2 walks, 2 doubles, 2 RBI’s, 4 runs scored.

So far I’m 6 for 12 for the tournament.

We have a 1 pm and a 6pm game 7-4-09 I will update after the games.

7-1-09 I arrived in West Virginia for the Beast of the East tournament and the player showcase.

I was in the 1PM showcase and thought it went very well.

The 60 yard run went well and the sports fit strength test was great, I feel I did very well and will get he official results in early August.

Some of the tests that I participated in I was able to hear my results right there, the grip test was 123lbs and I threw the medicine ball 51 feet. The “pro shuttle” I ran in 4.36 I thought that went really well..

I was the starting pitcher in our first game, and it was raining really hard but I was able to work thru the game and went 6 innings and picked up the win 6-2.

The line was this: 6 innings, 2 k’s, 4 walks, 5 hits 2 ER. Not my best but it was raining so hard and I used mainly my fastball and only threw a few off-speed pitches and was able to maintain even with out my best stuff and the rain.

In the second game I started at 2^nd and in the 2 games I was 3 for 7 (singles) with 1 walk / 1 run scored.

We won both games so we are sitting 2-0 !

I will update more as we go.
