Game 1 today was a good game in most regards for your Lumberjacks. WE played our best defensive game thus far and hit the ball well. WE even saw our first home run of the season as Alphonzo Rigby hit a two run shot in the third inning. However, the tale of this game is again about not getting out of innings and walking batters. When we play like we did in this game the only thing that can beat us is ourselves and unfortunately that was the case in this game.

Game 2 was a rematch with Marian JV who dismantled the Jacks earlier this week 22-2. Today WE put forth a much better effort against Marian. In an effort to slow their great offense WE put our ace on the hill and Greg Thompson did not disappoint with 6 strikeouts in 3 innings of work. Unfortunately WE could not make the plays WE needed to keep them off the scoreboard. As the box score shows, WE hit well and had a lot of opportunities with men left on base. Overall, WE showed great improvement from our first matchup.

The Jacks will play their 6^th game tomorrow against Carroll College JV. Despite the setbacks on the scoreboard Coach Berube and I are impressed with how far our TEAM is coming on the field. As WE move into our last game here in AZ and head home, WE look to continue to improve every day. Although the scoreboard has not gone in our favor yet, WE have never once told our TEAM the expectation is victories right now. WE tell our TEAM to do the little things right and the scoreboard will take care of itself. WE know that WE will turn this program around, but like all great things in life it will take time.

Thank you and GO JACKS!

Coach Martin
