ST3 vs Lacey Cardinals

River Ridge High School - May 11, 2007

This past week was a good week for ST3. Our Babe Ruth team got three wins. Tuesday we had another come from behind win 9-8 and Friday we got a win from the Lacey Cardinals. The Friday game was called due to darkness in the fifth inning with the ST3 team ahead 13-2. A timely double play ended the game in the bottom of the fifth inning. We can still split with the Cardinals as we have one more home game with them this season.

Good defense and timely hitting was a boost this week. We still need to get our pitchers a bit stronger so they can go deeper into a game, as we will bunch up a few games the first week of June.

One of the fine qualities of this team is the never give up attitude. Our record now is 5-4 and I am optimistic that we fill finish the season as a much improved team. I hope that we can continue to get better as a team as we enter the stretch run.

The coming week looks to be a great week for improving. Monday we will have batting practice at five. Our focus will be on developing consistent hitting. We will also have a couple players work on pitching and holding runners on. Tuesday we will travel to Mossyrock. Wednesday the Lacey Cardinals will be visiting. We will have a full practice on Thursday and have batting practice on Friday.
