Juniors Finish Fourth in the State

The Junior Baseball squad jumped on District 1 in their opening game on Friday, besting them by a 13-3 mark in five innings.   In the nightcap, they lost to Virginia Beach, dropping into the lower bracket, where they advanced to play another day, defeating District 12's Cave Springs' team by a 19-5 score.  Then, in their first game on Sunday, Coles eliminated District 15's Essex County, 15-5; and in their second Sunday game, they defeated the District 7 Warrick team, making it to the JUNBB Final Four.  On Monday, Coles was eliminated as they wound up on the short side of a 4-3 score in their rematch against the Virginia Beach team that initially dropped them into the lower bracket.
Congratulations to all of the players and the staff!!!

Opening Day 2008

Tim White was the Master of Ceremonies as Coles Little League held the official Opening Day Ceremony for its 28th Little League season on Saturday, April 19th.  The weather was glorious as the teams paraded onto the field.  Coles Supervisor, Marty Nohe, provided the day's motivational speech, noting that he and the Board of County Supervisors are committed to getting the Helwig Park project funded, so that Opening Day 2010 can be held at the new ballparks.  The league wants to thank all of the special guests, volunteers, parents and players who helped make this such a memorable event.

• A pitch limit for pitchers league age 7-8 has been added, with a maximum of 50 pitches per day. Previously, the limit for these ages was the same as for pitchers who were league age 9-10.
• A provision has been added that prohibits a player who has been removed as a pitcher in a game from playing the position of catcher for the remainder of that day. This was a recommendation of Dr. Andrews and Dr. Fleisig, and is intended to further prevent overuse injuries. The position of catcher, according to Dr. Andrews and Dr. Fleisig, has the second-most overuse injuries, which can be acerbated by moving from pitcher to catcher in the same day. (However, moving from pitcher to any of the other seven positions, or from catcher to pitcher, apparently does not cause the same concerns.)
• Pitchers league age 16 and under who deliver 41 or more pitches in a game must also have a game of rest, in addition to the number of days rest prescribed. Pitchers league age 17-18 who deliver 51 or more pitches in a game must also have a game of rest, in addition to the number of days rest prescribed. This enhancement is designed to help ensure that teams develop more pitchers, and to help ensure that scheduling anomalies do not result in undue advantages for some teams.
• The “automatic” intentional walk was removed. If a pitcher wishes to intentionally walk a batter, he/she must do so by pitching four pitches intentionally outside the strike zone that are not struck at by the batter, and are called “balls” by the umpire. All such pitches will count in determining that pitcher’s pitch count.
