Douglasville Bulls: Welcome

A post-season blog from Bulls communications director Andy Norton
For each of us, there are moments in life that will be forever be etched in our memory, and the 2011 summer season with the Bulls is one of those. While Los Toros came up short in the final series, they had an unbeliveable run, finishing as the league’s regular season champs with a record of 23-3, and finished the series at 26-6.

I will conclude my second season covering Douglasville nine with this posting. But rather than giving the game recap, which you can get on the stats page, I would rather focus on the great ride through the summer.

The Bulls opened the season going 3-1, with a minor stumble against the Bearcats in week two. They rallied to win 13 straight, and then finished the regular season with a final nine-game win streak and a first round playoff seed.

We got to see Matt Johnson get back-to-back homeruns. Brian York go yard for three times in single game. Glisson, Jones, Wright, and ‘Krob’ all hit above .330.  Ezell, Barger, Morris, and Hutson all with ERAs below 1.85. And how great was it to see Hutty get the shutout in his final game as a player at Cool Ray to win game one of the final series?

While getting the series final would have been the ultimate finish, I for one, am not going to let two games spoil it for me. The Bulls had an unbelievable run. Coach Pratt has the field in nearly major leage condition, and I have been impressed by this great group of young men – in their skills and more importantly their character.

So farwell to the 2011 regular season champs. I for one thank you for giving me a season to remember.
