This weekend of baseball was boLth wonderful and sad... We'll start with the wonderful - Coach Weaver (far right) was in town!! On Friday afternoon we played Parkside (Coach Weav's team). Tyler got the start, lasting about 2 innings before he couldn't handle the pain any more. So he is going to red-shirt this year. So PLEASE keep him in your prayers, for anyone that is a competitor knows sitting out from what you love is the worst thing that could ever happen. Anyways -- Coach Weav's team took it to us Friday night. They played lights out and well, we didn't. This was by far one of the worst game's I've ever seen, but yeah, Weav 1 Arch 0.
Saturday was when USI, Wayne St, and Parkside came together to honor Coach Mags (2nd from right). Coach Mags coached at Wayne St and boLth Arch and Weav coached under him while at Wayne St. Coach Mags is like a father to boLth Arch and Weav as well as Disch(Wayne's current head coach). But yeah, Coach Mags is awesome and obviously has done an amazing job at teaching men how to coach the game of baseball successfully! We played Parkside on Saturday and we won. Sunday we played Wayne St and won again. Then last night was USI's first game under the lights on our own field. and WOW.. it looked awesome!! Our field is amazing!! We played Wayne St... Casey took the mound for us... Casey has been a project to say the least, he battled elbow issues in the fall of 08, was stubborn and hard headed (yeah, I can say this cause he knows he was also!) and finally in the spring of 09 he had Tommy John Surgery. So today was his first time on the bump in 2 years in a game. He was alright. He threw 4 shutout innings and seemed to get into a grove and did alright. Last night is was a close game, the kind of game where your heart races a lot and you get super excited and super frustrated at the same time. Poor ole Joe, the home plate ump, he struggled... Tyler would say "Joe, ya _____ us, ya ____ us.. you can fill in the blanks with the eff word.. it's Tylers thing when he doesn't like what an umpire decides.. We ended up winning and it was AWESOME!!
