The ESM Travel Baseball Team beats Liverpool 17 - 12 

It was a picture perfect day at Burnham Park in Mattydale where the boys ESM Travel Baseball team played their first game of the travel league season on Sunday, May 20th.  ESM faced off against Liverpool.  Ricky Neuser was starting pitcher for ESM and settled in early on the new portable pitching mound.  Ricky first game jitters quickly subsided as he kept the opposing batters off guard by throwing a good mix of fastballs and off-speed pitches. He was relieved late in the game by Jacob Buell who picked up where Ricky left off - firing lasers past the Liverpoool sluggers in the final inning protecting the five run lead.  The ESM defense was superb, which is saying a lot considering the entire infield was hard and rocky which caused the ball to move fast.  On offense, the ESM boys came to hit!  Once they got on base...they stole bases every chance they could, capitalizing on Liverpool's errors.

ESM Travel Baseball plays again this weekend at the District 8 Wood Bat Tourney at VerPlank Field in Clay.  Games start Friday at 6pm, Saturday doubleheader at 9:15 and 11:30.  The travel team will then play a doubleheader June 10th at Burnham Park in Mattydale.  Games start at 12pm.

Come on out and support the ESM Travel Baseball Team.  Click here to view photos from the May 20th game.
