See Team Mom for Mud Dawgs Slide Show CD!
Hey Hot Dawgs... Thanks for winning another c-l-o-s-e one Tuesday night and for
granting Team Mom's wish for a more comfortable margin of victory yesterday!!!
I gave everyone a Mud Dawg Slideshow CD which should run on your computer. If you have any trouble with it, give me a call. I have some other tricks we can try. I have a few extras for Honorary Dawgs (grandparents, Sports Illustrated reporters, pro scouts, etc.). You can download any pics you want to save or print. See you Tuesday if the weather cooperates!
Practice and CELEBRATION Tuesday, June 7 - 4:30 to 7 at Cherry Valley
We've got a lot to celebrate! You took 1st place in the AAA Division and we have some 6th graders who will play their last Little League games Thursday night or in the playoffs before the move up to the BIG DIAMONDS of the Junior League!!!
Let's have some fun on Tuesday afternoon before we polish up our skills for the Guest and Woo "rubber match" on Thursday evening. (They want that game almost as much as we do.)
We'll have an ice cream party Tuesday from 4:30 - 5 at Cherry Valley before practice. E-mail me your favorite flavor and I'll do my best to find it!!! (TanyaSullivan@comcast.net). The loyal Mud Dawg fan club, all those great AAA coaches that umpired our games, and the PALL Board members that make it all possible are welcome to join us!
What a season... when you're 50 years old, you're going to remember this one as something really special. Great baseball, good friends, coaches that made it almost as fun to lose as it was to win, and families that were proud of you beyond words. Even when you didn't win, you ran out of the dugout at full speed to congratulate the other team. THAT is the sign of true champions. It's only a game... but what a great game you've made it.
Who let the dawgs out? Who who who who....
Practice Thursday, May 12 - 5-7 at Cherry Valley
Be there... aloha!
Maselli's began the evening with a one run decision over Sonomarin in the continuation of a 14 - 14 tie from an April 2nd game called due to darkness. Ryan Torrento opened strong on the mound for the Mud Dawgs striking out two batters and coming up with a grounder that he dished off to A.J. Oglesby for an out at first. In the bottom half of the inning, Willy Sullivan reached first base on a misplayed fly ball to center field. Marcus Gabbart advanced Willy to third and Wyatt Painter hit a ball sharply past the Sonomarin third baseman, knocking Sullivan in to give the Mud Dawgs their first victory of the night. Go Dawgs Go!!!
Maselli's carried the momentum into the second game against Sonomarin exploding for 7 runs in the first. Sonomarin answered with only one run in the bottom of the inning as Torrento struck out 3 and Johnny Painter fielded a tough fly ball to center. Torrento's pitching shut down Sonomarin in the second and yielded just two runs in the third. Maselli's notched 3 runs in the second, and 2 more in the third to pull ahead 12 to 3. The Mud Dawgs left three stranded in the 4th, as Sonomarin battled back, closing the gap to just two runs with some well placed hits to the gap in right center. Maselli's scored three in the 5th. Sonomarin countered with four runs to pull within a run, but reliever Luke Durkin's strikeout and Willy Sullivan's well played fly out to deep right field shut down Sonomarin's charge. The Dawgs put the ball in play three times in the top of the sixth, but were unable to score. Augie Bundesen turned a double play and caught an infield fly to ice Maselli's victory in the bottom of the inning.
Marcus Gabbart, Wyatt and Johnny Painter, Augie Bundesen, Luke Durkin, AJ Oglesby, Johnny Moon, and Tommy Harmon all logged base hits on the evening with Harmon and teammate Frankie Graham hitting doubles. Meanwhile, Mud Dawg fans monitored vital signs in the bleachers as the Mud Dawgs battled through their 5th double digit game with a one run decision this season.
Maselli's will face third place Sonomarin for the final time next week. The Dawgs, with a two game lead, have split with second place Guest and Woo in two lopsided victories. Mud Dawgs Management cautions not to rule out a surge by Neve Roses in the second half of the season so the pennant could come down to the Maselli/Guest and Woo "rubber match" on Thursday, June 9th also the final game of the AAA season.
Who let the Dawgs out ??? Who.... who.... who... who?
