Coach Dave: Post-Game Comments, Practice Possibilities, Happy Mother's Day

We will NOT have practice Sunday, May 10, because of Mother's Day. Guys, do something nice for your moms!
The weather willing, we may try to sneak in a practice at 5:45 p.m. either Monday or Tuesday on the high-school softball field. It would be good to have a practice before our game with the Cubs (6 p.m., Thursday, May 14).
I can't tell you how pleased I was with our players Friday evening. They played with focus and passion. A few plays keep rolling through my head. We put in a special bunt sign for Matt this game, and when he saw it he tapped a perfect bunt down the third base line and beat it out for a hit. When the Pirates tried their only bunt, Jason flashed off the mound to grab the ball and fire a strike to first to nip the runner. And then Nick smashed a line drive so hard that it literally ripped the glove off the Pirates' third baseman's hand!
Many thanks to the players' family members for supporting the team. Your presence means a lot to the players!
Dave
