Good Week

A little bit of old school baseball was all that the Panther bats needed to get going. Team traveled to Owatonna for a double header with Owatonna and New Prague. The sound of the metal bat was replaced with the less than familiar crack of wood bats in this double header. The Panthers were victorious in both games. The first game with a great offensive display. The second behind solid pitching and great defense. Sprinkle in some timely hitting and things actually began to look like what we had expected all along.

Back to the Lake Conference on Monday. The metal bats returned....just not until the late innings. Panthers taking one on the chin 7-4 to a good Apple Valley team. Wednesday we returned home to take on the Rosemount Irish. Played a bit of small ball in the beginning and capped off the win with some very timely hitting. A solid pitching performance highlighted a great 4-3 victory. Thursday we took on the South Cougars. Once again a solid pitching performance led to a 7-1 victory. Always a highlight to get the game filmed. Thanks to the all of the volunteers that made it possible for this to take place.

All things considered, when I take time to look back on it, its hard to complain about winning 4-5. Easy to please and hard to satisfy. Once it is more apparent what this team is capable of its hard not to look for it each and every time we play.
