Samuel Pitched Great Game......

.....but they lost to the Tigers, again.




Here are some excerpts from emails we received tonight from the Assistant Coach and the Manager of his team.

"We joke a lot about Sam but his pitching stats are starting to look a bit gaudy. 20 K's and 3 walks. 73% strikes. Against the Tigers he threw 49 strikes in 66 pitches. In the 2nd inning he threw 7 pitches, and 2 of the outs were strike outs. In the 4th inning he threw 12 pitches and 2 of the outs were strike outs." "That is just plain filthy. A pitching performance like that against the Tigers. If we could just get some hitting behind him, he would win everything."









Okay, so I am a little proud!!!!!

Lake Stevens Red Sox

Samuel is on the Red Sox for the 2nd year. Last year was less than thrilling, to put it mildly. We, the parents and coaches have been very excited for this season, as our players are all really good kids and they seem like they will do very well together. Having said that...we are 0-3 right now. But, they are really showing potential!! Hopefully they can keep a good attitude and get some wins! Today they played the Tigers. We were winning and then tied and then 2 kids on the Tigers hit out of the park home runs. Bringing the score to 9-5. We got a run in the bottom of the 6th, but it just wasn't enough. Samuel did very well. He got a hit, an RBI, a sacrafice, got quite a few out at 1st and made a great diving catch down the 1st base line. That put a huge smile on his face! All I can say is GO Red Sox!!! They play again on Tuesday night. I will keep ya posted!
