Billy... Today's MVC

An extra inning victory for the Cubs was truly a team effort. One individual effort was particularly special.

Today's Most Valuable Cub showed tremendous growth. How many first year players get on base, drive in runs, and cover home plate to force a D-Ray out? Not many. Just Billy.

The Cubs couldn't hold onto the lead today and suffered a close loss to the Devil Rays. All attempts to rally were thrwarted as we seemed to hit the ball where they were standing. The boys braved the elements and played a solid game. Andrew was selected as today's Most Valuable Cub. I wonder who will get the game ball the next time we play the D-Rays.... which is tomorrow!

Go Cubs Go!

When the sun came out the Cubs made a mighty comeback and tied the score going into the bottom of the 6th. Alas the defense didn't hold and the Rockies prevailed with a final score of 11 - 10.

The boys had fun and the coaches survived... a.k.a. success.
