Coast traveled to Chicago July 30-31 and played five
games over the weekend. We lost to Columbus in extra innings,
defeated Whitewater and lost to the Chicago White Sox on Saturday.
Except for one inning that got away from us we played the Sox
evenly. On Sunday we played Chicago Cubs I and again one inning was
the main difference. Our last game against Cubs II was disappointing
as we had thumped them in Columbus in June. Mental and physical
fatigue got the better of us and we dropped our last game. However,
playing five games in two days was good warm up for nationals next
week in Columbus August 11-13. See pictures.
The weekend of June 11-12, Coast traveled to Columbus for a
tournament and went 1-3 on the weekend. It was a good start to the
season. Everyone had some good play defensively and offensively.
