Hello Lumberjack Fans,
When we began fall practice there was one question in mind, "How do we go from where we are now to where we want to be?" We have not reached our destination, but this past Monday we took another step towards where we would like to be with two more exhibition victories over Lake Region. The first game was one that makes the coach very pleased as your Jacks were on the winning side of a 10 run rule winning 12-2. We had a solid game all around and had a stellar pitching performance by Brett Hebel who threw all 6 innings and struck out 11.
The second game was much closer and showed just how much heart our team has. The Jacks gave up a run in the first inning and trialed by that score throughout the game until the last inning when our captain Cody Brooks sparked a rally with a pinch hit double off the wall. After that we were fortunate to get some timely hits and had a few breaks go our way as we scored 3 runs. In this game we had another complete game performance on the mound, this time from Cody Milliken who held the Royals to no runs in the bottom of the last inning with the bases loaded to preserve the 3-1 win.
Besides the two wins we had one extraordinary performance as our centerfielder Adam Denny stole home TWICE! Overall, the coaches were very pleased with what we showed in our fall schedule and now look to the offseason training program to build on the foundation that is beginning to come together. It truly is a new era for Jacks baseball and we will continue to build this program into something we can all be proud of.
Thank you and GO JACKS!
Coach Martin
