In game 1 on the weekend the Jacks finally were able to put
all the pieces together and get our first win of the season. However, we did
not make it easy on ourselves giving up two runs on mental errors that had us
needing a 2 run rally in the bottom of the 7th. But this team has
always shown heart and did again as we were able to pull through and come back
and eventually win the game in 8 innings. A performance of note in this game
has to be Greg Thompson pitching all 8 innings to get our first win.

Game 2 the Jacks came out slow defensively giving up two
runs in the first but battled back with the bats and tied the game. From then
on it was a war of attrition and nobody could break through until a tough play
in the outfield allowed the Royals to score two. The Jacks found themselves in
a position to play the spoiler role again with the bases loaded and no outs in
the bottom of the 7th however an amazing catch and two strikeouts
allowed the Royals to defeat the Jacks in this game.

Game 3 the Jacks came out with their best first inning to
date scoring 3 runs and jumping on Royals pitching right away. The game stayed
close for a while until a timely home run by our captain Cody Brooks allowed
the Jacks to finally pull away and win this game.

Game 4 the Jacks outdid the first inning from the previous
game and scored 4 in the first. After three innings the Jacks had accumulated 7
runs. From then on it was the break out performance of Nick Riglin on the mound
that let the Jacks win their third game on the weekend.
Overall, we showed a lot of heart this weekend. As a coach I
am proud of the performances we had as we never stopped battling. I would like
to give Lake Region a lot of credit as those were 4 really tough games and a
bounce the other way and they could have easily won all four. However, after a
season where we seemed to hit the ball right at people we were able to finally
break out of our shell and hit the ball. Our top three batters in our order did
exactly what they need to do and that is get on base and drive in runs. When the
top leads the rest of the team follows.
