That’s a good start…

Well, that didn’t work…

Posted on May 27, 2015 by kdarcy21

We had a great practice on Monday evening.  Did a lot of infield and outfield work, catcher work as well.  The boys were working hard and doing a good job. So I was optimistic for last evenings game.  We had … Continue reading →
