PLAY BALL!!!!!

Let the madness begin!!!! The 2009 baseball season has begun. Our first game of the season was Matt's Storm vs. the Owlz! They didn't waste any time when they created the schedules. We started off with a bang! The winds were blowing like 20 miles an hour which was great when we were batting, but not so great when we weren't. It was a close game until the very end. One bad inning and it was over for the Storm. The final score was 17 - 8 (thank goodness the time ran out). Matt did great and we can't wait to see how the rest of the season goes!!! He started the game out at pitcher and then moved out to centerfield where the Owlz's big hitters were aiming. Matt had an awesome game despite the crazy wind and dirt in his face. He had a couple of outs and big hits. Today, Zach's Defenders took on his team from last year the Red Wings. We were a little worried watching them warm up. Zach was soo excited all day and couldn't wait to get this season started. Well, the Defenders had a GREAT game - final score was 18-0. We are all very happy that Zach chose to go back into the draft this year. They've got lots of energy and excitement. There are some real hitters on his new team. Zach played pitcher and shortstop and did great at both positions. Way to go boys!!! We're in for an exciting season. The countdown is on! Eleven days till the Hooks' opening day!!! Hopefully Alex won't explode before then. We got some video of Zach's game, but didn't get any at Matt's due to the weather. But don't worry, we'll get some. Enjoy! Be back soon!!!
