Just like last season, we will opt to play in the Henrico County CoRec-Recreational League: 28 Game Schedule.  Our team registration is due in early March and I expect for games to begin the week of March 29^th.   Per person costs will be determined by how many people are on the roster this season and will need to cover our Team Registration Fee ($835.00), any out of County non-residents fees ($15/person that does not live within Henrico County), and team shirts ($TBD).  I expect the per person cost to be around $60 just like it was last season.

Once we get the roster set and collect the money needed to pay our registration dues – we will begin to work on:

• 2010 TEAM SHIRTS – yes, with numbers; and names this year.
• Season Kick-Off Happy Hour or Team Party… maybe a Flying Squirrels Game? GO NUTZ!
• Optional Practices – probably in Mid March, on Saturday Mornings, just like we did last season
• Website Updates & Confirming Cell Phone Alerts

Let me know if you have any questions at this time. I am looking forward to another season and hopefully this time we can put together a team for the tournament!

Don’t forget – Team Happy Hour Monday, July 20th @ Jon’s. See you guys there!

During Game 1, Hit & Run II did not show much weakness and controlled the game from start to finish; but The Company was ready for a change of pace when Game 2 began. The Company quickly showed that they we were able to produce with runners in scoring position, play smart and strong defense, and compete head-to-head with the undefeated Hit & Run II team. When the dust settled at the end of the night, The Company had reason to celebrate. With a tie game in the bottom of the last, The Company was able to hold Hit & Run II scoreless and close their season with a tie against the best in the league.

With this tie, The Company spoiled Hit & Run II’s perfect season and clinched the Divisional Championship they had been battling for all season. Great Season guys! We will see you in 2010 – better than before and ready for more.

Following a 13-3 Game 1 victory, The Company was tasked with a challenge during Game 2. The team needed two runs to tie or three runs to win in the bottom of the last inning. Collins and Pauli started out the bottom half of the inning by earning consecutive walks, putting early pressure on Cap Tech. Boswell soon tied the game with a triple that bounced off the left field fence. With one out, and Boswell on third, Jennifer Groome came through with a game winning hit up the middle. With these two wins, The Company gets above .500 and is looking forward to the final 3 weeks of the season.
