Day Two: Skills, Barbecue and a trip to the ER



Day two in Cooperstown was another great day for the Force Nation as the boys enjoyed their final day of preparation prior to beginning tournament play. Opening ceremonies and skills competitions ruled the evening as all of our boys performed well. A special nod to goes to John who, sporting his brand new kicks, blazed his way around the bases in an amazing 13.22 seconds. Unfortunately John missed out on participating in the finals by a heartbreaking .03 seconds.

The day was also filled with a variety of non baseball excitement highlighted by the boys chowing down at the big barbecue lunch, more pin trading and an unexpected trip to the Emergency Room for our very own (and thankfully hard headed) Robert. Fortunately the doc has green lighted Robert to take the field in tomorrow's action despite the bump on his noggin from a baseball bat.

First pitch for game one is set at 11:00 am E.S.T against the Somers Red Storm Americans from New York. Game two features a showdown with the Maryland Predators at 7:00 pm E.S.T.

Check back tomorrow for in-game updates and may THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!
