Sorry I haven't updated the blog with the last few games. It's been super busy! I can't believe it's the end of the season already!! These past few months have flown by.
While I know the record may not reflect a "winning" season, at the end of the day, each of the Hooks players grew into better ball players and better people, and that is what it is all about.
Thank you to each of the coaches that gave their time, energy, and knowledge to the boys. I know they all learned something new this season and will continue to develop.
Best of luck to the Hooks players moving up next year! Look forward to seeing everyone at the ball field again! Have a great summer.

Thursday, April 23, 2015
The
Hooks had their first 7:30 pm game of the season and it was chilly for late
April! Lots of kids on both teams were
sporting their Under Armor to keep warm.
It
was another tough loss for the Hooks, but they had some positives come out of
the game tonight. The outfielders did a
great job getting the ball in quickly and the infield was baseball ready all
night. The Hooks had some players in new
positions tonight, getting the players more experience at different spots on
the field. One thing is for sure, the
Hooks didn’t give up tonight and played hard until the end. Here’s a quick look at the Hooks tonight:
Zach: Did
a good job pitching and being ready defensively infield
Nathan: Smashed a hit to the centerfield
warning track and did a good job pitching
Davis:
Put in good work
behind the plate catching and backing up teammates in the infield
Trey: Hard hit ground ball get to the fence for a triple and RBI and played good defense at 3rd base
Channing: Rocked a hit for an RBI &
part of a great “pickle play” to get the Grasshopper player
out
Hayden:
Great job on 3rd base
and being baseball ready in the infield
Will:
Ripped a hit for
a single and did a great in the outfield
Luke:
Another RBI tonight
and did a great job in the outfield getting the ball in quickly
Ryan:
First catcher’s
appearance & worked hard behind the plate and part of the
"pickle play”
Jacob:
Good job
pitching and being ready in the infield and outfield
Brock:
Great job in outfield
backing up his infield teammates and being ready
Grant: Good
job pitching and great infield defense and part of the “pickle play”
