MORE OLD PHOTOS

This isn't directly related to our softball team but I thought you might find some amusement in these old photos taken long before many of you were born.

That's me at age 12

I'm in the back row on the left. We won the championship that year.

THANK YOU, PETE SPENCER

I snapped a few photos at Pete Spencer's retirement party today. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get everyone together for a team photo with Pete. We did manage to gather a few members of our Richmond Bombers tournament team for a photo. We can only hope our next Regional Commissioner will be a man of the people (unless he's a she) and a supporter of our softball league the way Pete was. Pete was at Nicholl Park the day before his retirement shindig to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at our league's championship game. I'm adding some photos from the championship game as well as some shots from Pete's appearance at our game with the Mod Squad. So long, Pete.We'll miss you.

MARIZA & MANDI WITH THE SMOKIN' ACES

The Smokin' Aces played at College Park High School in Pleasant Hill tonight with Mariza catching and Mandi playing first base. Mariza gave the new facemask a test drive and she reports it was comfortable to play in. Here are some photos and a brief video of one of Mariza's at bats.

CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, ALL-STAR GAME, & BBQ

We played our last game of the season but we still have a couple of league events on the calendar. First, the league championship game will be played next Wednesday, August 25th. Let's get out there and show some support for our league. I'm going to keep score and write up a full game report. I hope some of you with digital cameras will come and take lots of photos and maybe even some video.

PC Bricks 22, Mod Squad 14

The score might give the impression we played football but this was definitely softball. With all of the scoring it was certainly a fun game to play.

We hit very well but our fielding was spotty and our baserunning....needs to be addressed at practice next week.

PC Bricks 15, TD's 10

We were successful in our first outing as we defeated the TD's with a solid effort. A wrap up of the game and scoresheet can be found here. Without The Coach present, Brandon, Darlene, and I had to keep score while in the game which is a pretty difficult juggling act. If you find we made a mistake that needs to be corrected, please let me know.
