This was Opening weekend for the Chargers baseball program.  It was interesting to say the least.  The 10 Under picked up where they left off last year with a convincing win over Wildcats.  They had both good pitching and hitting.  The 12 were surprised by Ivy Hill, our pitchers walk some runners and gave away some runs.  But the 12's were making a comeback at Ivy Hill before finally losing the game.  The 15 played Olney, our pitchers got hit early and the catcher broke his thumb (Lorenz aka Nature).  We finally settle down but lost the game.  It was a fun filled weekend.
