Seco 5 Overturf 4

Another tight one Team Seco was on the board early at 1-0.David had a nice outing keeping the Overturf batters in check. Overturf was on the board in the third scoring three but Team Seco would not be denied with Ryan and Cleveland getting base hits at the right time Jacob who had a ball go off his hand behind the plate spanks a ball over the right field fence to put the score at 4-3 next up Taylor who drives the first pitch over the center field fence putting Seco up 5-3 and that would be all that was needed Overturf added one more in the fifth but it was just not enough.
Taylor finished the game from the mound. Key hits by the team scored the runs just when it looked like we may out of it the Team rallied Offensively and from the mound to shut the Overturf offense down great job guys.

Did not last long as Hayden hit another bomb over the center field fence to tie it at one apiece. David added a run on a nice line drive, Tanner next battled at the plate to hit a nice one off the fence scoring another run score was now 3 to 1 Seco. Later Sullivan Rowell would not be denied and knotted it at three apiece. Sullivan Rowell attempted to steal third with the running run a good throw by tanner and a solid tag by Jacob the runner was out Hayden retired the next batter to send it to extra innings. Jacob came in and retired the side sending us to the plate for the bottom of the seventh Taylor had stolen third and on a errant throw by the catcher to pick off Taylor he scored and Seco wins the game nice gut check win here.

Team Seco did not waste any time getting on the board and it was 6-0 before long Apollo sent four pitchers to the mound but could not shut Seco down. Taylor came in next to continue the shutout blanking the Apollo players at the plate. Team Seco bats continued to thrive into the fifth where the team went up 15-0.

Seco 14 Gesa 2

Team Seco started off a bit on the slow side from the plate seeing Gesa go up 2-0 in the first but that was all that was allowed. Jacob, Hayden and Taylor all had nice outings from the mound shutting down Gesa and getting out of some tight spots with key outs when needed. Team Seco finally was on the board about the third score tied at 2 when a Gesa player was fielding a high pop fly and the ball went off his forehead he was down for a bit but the coach's and parents were at his side soon he was up and in the dugout with some ice for his head. Team Seco went up 4-2 at this point. The game was blown open by a 3 run home run by David, a few more runs added after this seemed at this point the game was now out of reach a bit later in the fifth Taylor crushed a grand slam to put the score up to 14 -2 ending it there as the ten run rule goes into effect. Nice job Team Seco.

Seco 24 Larsen Transfer 0

Total difference from last night's game. It looked like all the cylinders were firing and the team never let up until it was over. Starting with a solid pitching performance by Jacob and a play where the ball was relayed from right field to Eric who was at short covering second a quick throw to third to get the advancing runner seem to set the tone for the rest of the game. No more runners made it to scoring position and I believe everyone who went to the plate hit the ball hard some where. Taylor closed out the game in fine fashion preserving the shutout. Excellent outing for team Seco and they played to there capabilities. One other thing Overturf lost to Sullivan Rowell today putting us back in a tie for first place. Great team effort today by Team Seco. For those who were not there the Coach's did a very good job not running up the score by not pushing the runners to advance unless necessary after they could see the game was out of reach.

Seco Vs Larsen Transfer

Game time 11:00 am we are home team Smith has the field pregame would be 10:00 am or right after pictures which ever the coach's decide.

Pictures

Remember Pictures this morning and to be there by 9:15 am that is at west gate.

Seco 3 Overturf 4

Not a lot to cover here very tight game which saw both teams get on the board early and score just stayed. Team Seco had its chances just did not capitalize with runners in scoring position. Onto the next game and will look for better results.

Seco Vs Overturf

The first meeting between these two saw Seco go down three to two after nine innings of play. Seco came back in the second affair to shutout Overturf 6 to 0. Seco and Overturf are the two top teams in the major division as of right now. This should be a great match up between these two. Game time 7:15 pm pregame warm up 6:15 pm at westgate be prepared it maybe a cool one tomorrow evening. We are visitors in this one Smiley has the field after the game.

Seco 3 Vs Apollo 1

Cold night and cold bats was the scene at the field last night Seco was able to generate enough to get the job done though. The base coach's did a nice job moving the runners to score couple of the runs since there was only three runs I would say they got the job done tonight. Pitching was well done by David, Taylor and Hayden who also hit a nice double. Our pitching staff did a excellent job getting key outs when we needed them most. The Pitching staff definitely kept us in the game and Apollo off the bases. Next game Friday 7:15 pm Vs Overturf. The weather is predicted to be colder than last night so check it before the game so you can come prepared both parents and player. There will also be practice on Thursday 4:15 pm at yelm park. No Practice Wednesday. The coach's asked the players to work on something in there game at home on Wednesday maybe a trip to the cages or some soft toss or dry swings, tee work there are lots of things you can work on at home with your player to better his game hey and it is fun to boot.

Seco Vs Apollo

This will be the third meeting between these two Seco winning the two games respectively.
Tuesday 4/15/08 Game time 7:15 pm Pregame warm up at west gate is 6:15 pm.
We are the home team and Simmelink has the field duty.

Practice Today

Practice Monday 04/14/08 4:15 pm to 6:15 pm Yelm park
Hope we all had a nice spring break. The weather was sure excellent. Now it's back to baseball and time to get the team refocused for the three games we have this week. Starting with Apollo Tuesday, Overturf on Friday and Larsen on Saturday. One thing to start thinking about is with warmer weather on the way, is to remember to have your player drink enough fluids before the games so they don't dehydrate. They need to prepare for this by drinking lots of fluids the day before and the day of the games not just drink fluids during the games.

Practices and Mowing

Practices over Spring Break -- Originally, I had planned on having practice during the day over Spring Break. However, that isn’t going to work for me now. Therefore, we will have practice from 4:30-6:00 at Yelm Park Monday through Thursday next week. However, I won’t be there on Thursday. If someone else beats us to the field, we may have to go to an alternate location (maybe Batter’s Box).
· Mowing Schedule – Next week is our team’s turn to mow the fields on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. If anyone has a burning desire to mow the fields, please let me know. Otherwise, I think the coaches can cover most of it.

Seco 6 Gesa 1

Whew! Team Seco found their way out of this one. Not one our better games but pitching was good we just could not muster anything at the plate with runners in scoring position. There were a few triples and doubles tonight some were able to stretch out a single but just wasn't the same Team Seco at the plate we have seen in the past. Jacob had a nice homer to left center on the night. Maybe the week off of games and the extra practice's next week will give the Team time to refocus on some needed discipline's. Need to give Gesa credit also they came to play and never let up until it was over. Tanner recorded the last out as Taylor popped up the last Gesa batter.

WALMART FRIDAY HIT A THON SALES APRIL 4TH

Walmart was not available for any weekends to sell hit a thon cards but we were able to reserve Friday, April 4th. There are 2 main doors, so I’m hoping that we could split up the team. I am also thinking about having each player sell their own cards this time and taking turns on approaching people. That way each player gets a chance to sell Let me know if your player will not be able to be there. We will meet at Walmart at 4:00. I imagine that we’d be done by 7:00. We will need at least 1 parent (or coach) at each door (if we are able to sell in 2 locations) to help encourage the boys to sell and to make sure they are taking turns please have the boys wear their team jersey, jacket and hat. If you need more cards, let me know asap – I don’t have any on hand right now. If there are people out there that cannot sell what they have and feel that they won’t be able to sell them all at Walmart or after, please let me know and you can turn them in for others to use asap.

PRACTICES OVER SPRING BREAK

Seco 11 Sullivan Rowell 1

Great game Team Seco and focused they were David and Taylor both pitched well to keep Sullivan Rowell from getting anything started at the plate. The bats were hot from the start for Team Seco putting up 4 in the first and they never looked back four doubles in the second one a very solid hit from Ryan Blake which was a very nice double. Hits came from top to the bottom of the order. Hayden hit a bomb that truly went yard as it cleared the street and went into the west gate school yard. This team has been getting contributions from all the players young and old all over the field it is great to see. Let's keep it Going into tomorrow night. I would like to thank Jeff Green for doing the field pregame even though we were visitors and those who stayed to help at games end.

Seco Vs Sullivan Rowell

This will be the third regular season meeting between these two. So far Team Seco has fared well and won both games. Every team is tougher to play as the season goes on and we will hope to see a focused and disciplined group for tomorrow's game.
