It is too wet to play in Edinburg so tonite's Regional game vs Edinburg has been moved to Morrisonville! Game time will remain 4:30. It's too wet in Raymond and Ramsey as well, so they will be moving their game to Mville as well and will play that game as soon as our game is finished. Becky is making plans for the concession stand, but could obviously use some help with the games...let her know. It's going to take some work...make sure to let Steve Brown know how much you appreciate his help. The Mohawks advance to a Wednesday meeting with Nokomis on Wednesday evening with a win, a loss ends the 2010 season.

Our first round regional game vs Edinburg (@ Edinburg) has been postponed to Tuesday. Game time is still set for 4:30. This is a first round game that is part of the Pawnee Regional. If we win we advance to play the #1 seed Nokomis on Wednesday in Pawnee. Parents are reminded that there will certainly be admission charged at Pawnee...uncertain about Edinburg. The regional championship will be played on Friday.

Lutheran has already determined that it is too wet to play there tomorrow (Thurs) so the location has been switched to Morrisonville. With rain forecasted for most of the day Thursday, we may be out of luck here as well. There will be practice tomorrow if we are rained out. The Wings, Etc challenge is on either way...we'll make the trip to Springfield following the game or practice.

Wayne Rosenthal has delivered forms for Mickey Mantle/Connie Mack summer baseball. This would apply to ALL freshmen, sophomores, and juniors who plan to play next season. Forms can be picked up from Coach M's room. Several schools to our east are trying to create a mix of games during the month of June as well. Interested players need to let Coach and Wayne know immediately.

After working feverishly for the past two off-seasons to beef up his power, Aaron Borgic popped his first, a 3 run homer in the 7th inning of the 23-13 win over Tri-City. Our current Prom King became a home run king at a critical time as the Tornadoes had rallied from a 13-2 deficit to make a game of it. Matt Weitekamp hit his second career century mark, scoring his 100th run in the 1st inning of the game. Lucas Durbin made a run at becoming the 1st players to hit for the cycle (single, double, triple & homerun in the same game) and came up a single short. Several asked about the record for runs scored and hits a in game...those records are not really maintained by Coach M's choice. Scoring over 20 runs or garnering large numbers of individual stats generally comes as a result of an embarrassing blowout of our opponent (certainly NOT the case vs Tri-City) and generally do not serve to promote the interests of good sportsmanship. So we don't keep track. We did, however, need every hit and run on Tuesday as Tri-City rallied repeatedly...so there's always a fine line between competing and sportsmanship...certainly one we try to stay on the right side of, but periodically miss.

Central A & M plays their home games in Assumption. The field is just north of the Jr High on the south side of town, west of 51. Look for the lights from the old football field.

The Mohawks were able to play two Varsity and two JV games the past two days exclusively because of the efforts of Steve Brown. If you checked the SJ-R you saw that on both days we were part of fewer than 10 games being played in the area on both days (and our rain total Monday night was much greater). Steve spent most of his Tuesday hovering over the diamond to put it in near perfect condition for our Tuesday game. We will be playing AT HOME as scheduled on Thursday. Steve's efforts allowed us to play what should have been an away game in Mville...saving the district transportation costs...the Lancers picked up the tab for umpires and baseballs. So other than not winning the game, it was a win-win-win senario for us. This also permitted us to have another banner evening at the concession stand (thanks to those who jumped in to help)...which benefits the entire program....and no one had to drive to Raymond. Our facility is something all players and parents can take great pride in, because so many in the Mohawk community take ownership of creating a better Memorial Field. Make sure to thank Steve the next time you see him.
