Super Series Shootout

3rd place. The Grizzlies found themselves falling short of making it to the championship game this weekend after a heart wrenching lost to the Prowlers 13-12 in the semi finals. After jumping out early on the Prowlers, the Grizzlies could not find a way to hold on to the lead. These kind of things happen in baseball but the team is committed in correcting their mistakes and to get ready for the next tournament. The run production as a whole was fantastic during this tournament avg. over 9 runs per game. Grizzlies.... we are proud of you and keep your chins up and continue to work hard. Get them next tournament. Grrrrrrrrrr

SPRING TRAINING 1

The Grizzlies did a great job this weekend moving up a division playing in AAA/Major division. 3 games against major division opponents made the competiton tough. Going 1-2 this weekend still gave us a 2nd place in AAA division. The championship game provided us more excitement in the last three innings that you would find in a whole tournament. Coming from a 10 run deficit to tie the game in the sixth inning, only to fall short in extra innings. Still overall, we showed we can compete with any team if we play GRIZZLIE baseball !

USSSA SPRING NATIONALS

WE DID IT ! ! ! Champions of 2009 Spring Nationals @ Rio Vista Park. The Grizzlies; banged up, short handed & handicapped (Hayden), dug deep and managed to come out with two wins on Championship Sunday. The Grizzlies won a hard fought game against the Q.C. Braves in the semi-finals 6-5. A superb pitching performance by Jesse Gardiner finish by C-rod (Casey Brown) shutting them down in the 6th inning propelled the Grizzlies into the championship game where they never looked back beating the Cyclones 6-1. C-Rod came in after Micheal started the game kept the Cyclones at bay not giving up a run in 5 innings. Kelvyn Martin received the MVP Award catching in all 6 games of the tournament and going 5-6 on Sunday. FANTASTIC JOB GRIZZLIES !

Victory Ln - Tuesday night league

The Grizzlies did well. The record may not reflect it, but playing against Major/AAA teams has made us step up to the plate and work hard. Havinga lot of close games provided us to to work on alot of things (improvement in pitching & defense) to prepare for Utah and upcoming Spring Nationals.

UTAH - President's Day Tournament

What a blast. The highlight of the Grizzlie season was capped off by going to St. George Utah to play in this tournament. The boys played great. Taking 2nd place, going 6-1 only to lose in the championship game. What a superb effort by everybody; parents' players & coaches. Going up into the mountains to be in 3 feet of snow and tubing down the mountain was a highlight that the team will remember for the rest of their lives. Snowballs were flying abundantly. The weather was cold for us thin skins bears but the scenery of the snow capped mountains overlooking the field was spectacular. Grizzlies Runner-ups

MLK Tournament

MLK tournament was an exciting tournament played in Scottsdale. Coach Tom missed the Saturday games where the team went 2-0. (maybe he should stay away. JK). Sunday game were hard fought and we can see the improvement of the boys playing against stiff competetion. The game in the semi finals against the Gauchos was a great game and an indication how the team is progressing. Another good job Grizzlies for placing 3rd. Will get them next time.

2008 WINTER NATIONALS

Great job Grizzlies ! ! 3rd place in Winter Nationals. A great 4 day tournament for the Grizzlies 12's where they found themselves with a 6-2 record. So many exciting and memorable plays through out the tournament. With stellar defense when we had the bases loaded twice against us and no runs were scored; timely hitting along with the hit and runs executed to near perfection and an avg of 8 runs per game; and awesome pitching from all who stepped foot on the mound especially the superb performance of Jesse going 6 innings in a 1-1 tie and C-Rod came in and shut the Rattlers down will stay in our memory for a long time. A fantastic job done by all the players and many thanks to the parents for the ongoing support of the team.
