Sports Update 4/18 - 4/19




Hello Everyone,

Saturday Baseball: Well, it was nice to see Nick get back on the ball field ! 2 weeks off is a long time ! We showed up at the super dusty dirt fields to find out we only had 6 players. To me, that is a coaches worst nightmare. But, at this age, it's not too bad. So anyway, the Raptors were playing the Threshers. Now, the Threshers have a coach that drives me crazy !! He adds at least 15 minutes to every game. He obviously does not have practices, because he thinks he needs to explain every detail to his players during the game. Any coach that holds the batters bat while he's hitting and then tells him "Go" to swing the bat has no business being around the ball field. Was it bad that I was hoping to see him get nailed in the nuts ? Ok, I'll stop.
Nick was able to get up to bat 4 times because of the player shortage. My concern of the bigger bat he just got ended up being a non-concern. That boy was crushing the ball !! All 4 at bats ended up being big shots to the outfield. He is really fun to watch ! He was very hesitant in the field for the first couple of innings, but the last innings he made all 3 outs by himself ! Again running off the field with his fist in the air in victory ! So funny !

Sunday Softball: Kylie had a friendly in Hemet this weekend. It was HOT ! Started at 80 degrees and ended at 100 degrees !
First game was against So Cal Magic. This was an ugly, ugly game !! Magic was very outmatched. Kylie played RF and showed why she plays out there. She is like another infielder. She displayed a "cannon" of an arm and also hit very well. Another Brase kid with a new bat ! The final Mystic 17 -Magic 0.
Next game was the "tough" game of the day. We played Ozone Gold. Pretty good team. Kylie started at pitcher. They had some big hitters. Kylie was a little shaky in the first. Gave up a run in the 1st and second inning. Mystic pounded the ball again ! Man, this team can hit ! The score was 2-2 after 2 innings. Then, Kylie totally settled down and shut down Ozone. Mystic also continued to crush the ball. Kylie also hit well again too ! The final Mystic 11 - Ozone Gold 2.
Last game of the day was against So Cal Extreme. Again, Mystic came out pounding the ball. Defense was very tight. Kylie played 2B. I don't think 1 ball was hit to her. Kylie continued to hit well ! Not much to say about this game, Mystic crushed Extreme 11-1.
This was a very good weekend for Mystic. The coaching change has been wonderful ! At least we'll have these coaches for State. See you next week !
