Dear Parents and Players,
Based on the calendar, the in-house season
should be almost 1/3 completed. Mother Nature has had a lot to say
about that. All teams have played between 3 and 6 games. We will
encourage all the managers to reschedule as many games as possible.
This may require playing games back-to-back nights, maybe Friday
nights and Sundays. It also could mean playing 3-4 games within a
week. An additional option is to extend the season another week to
try to get more games in. That pushes the playoffs back to the end
of June, which runs into vacations, etc. I’ll look at that option
last. Hopefully the weather will change for the better soon. The
intent is to play all 16 games scheduled but we’d like to see at
least 12-13 played at a minimum.
With the addition of stealing, the full slate
of rules are now in effect. The won/lost records and pitch counts
are being posted on the website under “Pinto”. They are updated on
Sunday. I’ve seen some really fine play so far and that will only
get better the more times the kids get out on to the fields.
