Final Thoughts for 2004 Season

I still can't believe the season is over (already); it seems as if we just started!

I agree with everything Mr. Bridgens said after the last game. I also would like to add that I hope that the season was as much fun for all of you as it was for me.

I hope that you will be well and have a fun, safe summer.

Oh, and I shudder to think that if I am coaching next year that I may have to coach against some/many of you!!!

Thank you once again for your hard work this season.

Best wishes,

Mr. T.

Playoff Game vs. Reds 6/13/2004

Even though we lost this game, it was definitely not because of lack of trying. We hit the ball very well, unfortunately it was right at a fielder quite often. This will happen in softball sometimes. We also were a victim of some "bad breaks" in the inning where the Reds scored four runs. Sadly, this happens sometimes, too.

Kudos to (from memory):

  • Kierstan -- pitched the entire game and did great (only two walks).

  • Martina -- drove in two runs with a clutch double and threw a runner out at third.

  • Rachael -- hit a triple.

  • Laura -- played catcher (even though she was in pain from catching previously in the day) and threw out two runners at third, even though they were called safe.


Great job, girls. Final comments for the season will be posted later.

Playoff Game vs. Yankees 6/10/2004

Not much to say about this one; we didn't play well. For some reason we had a lot of trouble catching the ball and we didn't hit until the last inning. We played a little better the last two innings, but the hole we dug for ourselves before that was just too big.

I'm sure we'll play better on Sunday at 3 PM.

Game vs. Angels 6/7/2004

Considering we were shorthanded and nearly everyone was playing out of position, we did well. There were many solid hits that I remember.

I don't have details right now, but I would like to thank Nicole for helping us out by pitching into the 7th inning. Thanks Nicole.

The playoffs begin on Thursday, June 10th at 6 PM on Field E.

Go Phillies!


See you then,

Mr. T.

Game vs. Reds 6/5/2004 (Rained out)

Hello girls,

Unfortunately, our game for today was rained out. Remember we have a game on Monday, June 7th at 6:00 PM on Field E. Please call or email Mr. and Mrs. Bridgens if you can't make it to the game.

Playoffs start on Thursday, June 10th, 6:00 PM on Field E. We are playing the Yankees (luck of the draw). When we play after then depends on whether or not we win or lose; it's double elimination (takes two losses to be eliminated from the playoffs).
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and hope to see you on Monday.

Mr. T.
