Comments from Coach Caban:
This was a great start to the season. We faced good pitching and played great defense. First time our eleven year old's have faced this type of pitching and they did a really good job for the start of the season. In five games, we as a team, gave up only two runs, had four errors and scored 33 runs. Nice start fellas!
