From Coach Brent Landrum: The loss on Tuesday in extra innings was tough but we played incredibly well that night. We had 10 hits and committed zero errors in the field. This carried over to Friday where we played extremely well. We pitched well, defended well, and hit well as a team. Our starting pitchers did a great job all three games. We received quality starts in every game. As a team we had 34 hits this week in 22 innings. That’s impressive. Emerson Raybon had a day for the ages Friday at the plate going 5 for 7 with 2 home runs, 2 doubles, 1 triple, and 8 RBI. His performance stood out among several great performances this week because of the amount of extra base hits and RBI.
Looking ahead to this week we have the Houston Power on Tuesday and our fourth conference game Thursday vs. St. John’s. This game, as with all conference games, is very critical for us. We are currently 2-1 in SPC south zone play and 11-14 overall. Every win helps with our seeding for the SPC championship tournament. I am extremely proud of how the boys are playing right now. I look forward to watching the season unfold from here.

Omar Suki at line one singles and Victor Kareh had the challenging matches of the day, playing excellent tennis but falling short in the end.

From Coach Rod Gold: Ben overpowered a very challenging Wolfdancer golf course. He was the only player in the field to shoot under-par, and on top that, he shot in the 60’s both days. Ben is in total command of his driver. He hit a couple drives over 400 yards and putted the ball well. It is an absolute joy to watch someone play golf the way Ben plays. He had been playing extremely well leading up to the prestigious CB&I Invitational, and has continued playing brilliantly since. He is composed well beyond his years.
