Hey everyone, my name is Pierce Greenleaf. I play for the 14U All Star Baseball Academy team. I have been playing for ASBA, summer and fall, since I was 11, but we were called the Blue Claws then. I was given the chance to write about our ASBA Downingtown summer team and report about both the serious and funny events of our season.
Here is my third weekly report on our summer ASBA team:
On Saturday, June 26, our All Star team played the 16U Crawdads team. I do not believe that anyone expected us to do well at all. We ended up losing 6-2, which was amazing because they were very good. I started the game on the mound and did pretty well except that I gave up a 350 ft home run. After that, Costa and Tony came in to pitch and did really well. We did not hit well, but their pitchers were throwing very hard.
On Tuesday, June 29, we played the Carolina team in our EBYA League. We finally started hitting and we won 11-6. This game our pitching was really good, but we had some mental and physical errors. Doesn’t matter though because we won, finally! The funny thing is the last time we played that team, their pitcher gave up no runs, but this time around we got 7 runs off of him. Although we didn’t hit really well, the other team just had fielding errors. It was nice that the other team helped us out for once! Our hitting is starting to come around and this looks like a good sign for us. Hopefully we continue hitting and win a few ball games in the future.
Baseball Tip of the Week:
Focus on the positive, not the negative.
Focus on the present, not the past.
Focus on the process and execution, not the result or winning the approval of others.
