After a long night of shoe tying and about 50 missed throws from the opposing team's catchers to pitchers, the Crawdads prevailed 10-0 against the Cypress Crusaders II. The Crawdads strong pitching continued with a combined shutout. Excellent job boys! Good luck with 9U kid pitch next season. Now back to coach pitch to see if we can bring home some more trophies.

Another tough game for the Crawdads tonight as they fall 3-2 to the Angels. Once again, pitching and defense was right on. Brendan, RJ, Jacob and Colton all did a great job from the mound. The game was tied 1-1 going into the 6th. The Angels scored 2 in the top of the the inning to take a 3-2 lead. Then in the bottom of the inning, the Crawdads pulled within a run as Dylan led off with a double and Brendan reached on a nice shot up the middle knocking Dylan to3rd and Brendan snuck into 2nd. Then Kelly put the ball into play and picked up a sacrifice RBI when Dylan scored. Brendan was held to second base when Chris shot was hauled in by the 1st baseman. Then Brendan advanced to 3rd on a wild pitch and the tying run was in scoring position. Jake batted the ball back to the pitcher and the Angels closed out the win.

The defense was very good with Colton and Chris hauling in some nice pop ups in the outfield to help keep the game close. The boys looked good at the plate but the Angels pitching was strong enough to keep us off of the base path tonight.


May 28, 2008
The Crawdads pitching was spectacular tonight with Jacob and Kelly holding the Drillers to a shutout through 4 innings. The Crawdads led 2-0 going into the 5th in a battle between the pitchers. Then in the bottom of the 5th, the Drillers put some hits together and scored 3 runs to take a 3-2 lead. Dylan pitched well in the 5th and was able to close out the inning. However, the game was called due to heavy rain before the Crawdads had a chance to bat in the 6th.

May 27, 2008
The Crawdads continued to play well tonight defeating the Texas Venom by a score of 11-4 in the 2nd game of the kid pitch season. The pitching rotation this game was Brendan, Chris, Colton and Scotty. They all did a terrific job on the mound. Chris almost put one out of the park and ended up with a ground rule double (video below).




May 22, 2008
The Crawdads were victorious in the 1st game of the kid pitch season Thursday, May 22nd 13- 3 against the JV Express. The boys did an awesome job pitching, fielding and hitting. Jacob, Kelly, Dylan, RJ & Richard all pitched in the opening game.
