Rookies Report by Coach Mike Webb

World Series game 1- Rookies were in for a rude AWAKEning as they had the first game (9:00) of the day. We lost 10-7 and will have to battle ourselves out of the "bottom" bracket. Next game Friday at 9:00. Figure it out boys!

World Series game #2, Rookies found a way to beat a very good Southern IN Spikes team 6-0. Rookie Defense was strong all day, allowing only one runner to reach third base. Bats were bangin' the whole game. Jake "Big Boy" Fuller had a towering ground rule double. Gilmour was back after yesterday's decapitation and had their batters hanging their heads after he stole hit after hit. Aggressive base running was key again. Good job Rookies!Btw, Rookies received their 1st place trophies for Around the Horn. Also, some low life thief stole Caige Christie's catcher's equipment out of their truck and put it next to the dugout we were in yesterday. Some people!

 Rookies season came to an end today (3-2 World Series) in almost unbelievable dramatic fashion. They played back to back to back in 100+ heat. Game 3 vs McCutchanville ended in an 8-2 win. Game 4 vs Western KY Aces turned into a 13-5 win for the Rookies.
Game 5 vs Rage was a 12-11 loss in the bottom of the 6th with 2 outs and they drop a bloop hit on the left side. Rookies foiled Rage's 2 other chances with a runner on 3rd in the last inning. Almost pulled it off. Rookies had a wonderful season however, the players took this loss hard.

Injuries today: 1: Kuebler took a bad hop in the throat. 2: Wells took one in the face. 3: Hunt took one in the leg. 4: Hunt took another in the ribs. 5: umpire took a 10 ft throw from Christie in the face and left the game

Thank you to all the grandparents, parents, friends, siblings, and rest of families for their support and togetherness that made our Rookie family!
