PARENTS: Important notice.

The composition of this years team is evenly split between 7 & 8th graders and 5th and 6th graders. That does cause an issue with limited numbers of players available for games. If all players who are in LL leave then the team may be short of players to complete the game. I hope that I will be given some leeway and be allowed to keep several LL players until the game ends. I also have found that several of the younger players will actually be starting. If you have any thoughts or reservations please feel free to talk wth me as soon as possible so I can work things out amicably for everyone concerned.  

Coach F 

Thanks to Mr. Smith for the following information......It should help in planning. 

Reds: Will A., Matthew A., Jason T., Raymond T.

 Here are Hawk games and if each Little League team is playing.

April

Tues     9   Hawks 4 vs Weare 5 (0-1)

Summary: The Hawks came up short in their opener 5-4 to a much improved Weare squad. David C. had 2 hits and all 4 HMS RBI's. Ryan P. pitched well in relief of Justin P. giving up only 1 run in 4 innings and getting Weare to ground into two nifty double plays to get out of jams. Defensively catcher, Carter S., had a great game behind the plate.  

Thurs  11   Hawks 15 vs Londonderry 1 (1-1)

Mon    15   Hawks 2   @ Litchfield 6  (1-2)

Tues   16   Hawks 12 vs Pelham 11 (2-2)

Tues     7   Hawks 2 vs So. Meadow 0 (5-2)

Tues   14   Hawks 10 vs Raymond 2 (6-2)

Thurs  16   Hawks 14 @ Cawley 15 (6-3)

Coach F is extremely proud of the team as they pounded out hit after hit and kept up with a powerful hitting Cawley squad. Cawley's power proved too much as they hammered a grand slam HR and a game-ending walk-off 3 run HR. The effort shows the improvement that the team has made on many levels. Cawley currently leads the league with an impressive 8-0 record, after defeating Litchfield 9-7, and HMS 15-14.

This was a game that saw some fine rebounding by Nick B. and Matt R (14 pts). Ryan A8 (21 pts) and Ryan A6 (19 pts) both had solid games.

HAWKS FINISH SEASON UNDEFEATED 13-0 AND CLINCH CLASS M CHAMPIONSHIP

I would like to thank all our parents for their continuing support and being there for the kids throughout this season.

It was quite gratifying to see so many past supporters, grandparents, ex-players, teachers and administrators at our Championship game. I know the kids noticed and were impressed with the large turnout. I actually think the time delay added to the crowd size.

The amount of respect shown by both teams and their supporters was also a pleasure to behold. I know our kids respect their opponents and their teammates for their hard efforts. So good to see they notice. 

The number of parents and players from Litchfield who took the time to come over to me and congratulate us on our victory spoke volumes. Thanks again to everyone.....and to think we played that game in one hour and 35 minutes!

Thanks 

Coach Flaherty 

PS...now maybe I can finish the rehab job I started on my daughter's home...and get to St. Louis and visit my son, his wife and the three grandkids.....LOL

Game 4   Hawks 7  vs  Pelham 2

The Pelham nine pushed the Hawks hard early taking a hard earned 2-0 lead heading into the bottom of the fifth inning. The Hawks found Pelham's pitching hard to crack early leaving 7 runners stranded in the first 4 innings. They then started taking chances, stealing bases, and connecting on some timely hits to score 5 runs in the bottom of the 5th to take a 5-2 lead. John P was pitching well and shut down the Pythons in the 6th while the Hawks scored 2 more to extend their lead to 7-2. John continued his mastery on the mound striking out the final 3 batters to seal a very hard fought win.

The Hawks executed steals, bunts, and hit and runs to make the game theirs. In doing so they may have learned some hard lessons that will hold them well as this season progresses. David C's suicide bunt to score Colin was a good example of a fine offensive execution. On defense Ben's diving catch of a seemingly impossible line drive began the front end of a nifty double play in the top of the 5th.

The Hawks opened the game with a solid single from Ben and a ringing double from Mike B. scoring Ben and a quick 1-0 lead. They added 5 more in the second to go up 6-0 and really never looked back offensively.

GAME 1

Hawks Defeat Chester 56-28 11/15/2011

It was a very close game through the third quarter until the Hawks went on a run, using their trapping defense, to open up a solid lead for the win. The Hawks were led by Zach with 20 points.

There was a whole lot of learning going on in this game as the Hawks and Chester battled back and forth with their starting 5. The game was quite even with both teams taking small leads and tieing quite often. It was when Chester started going deeper into their bench that the Hawks bench was able to open up a lead and then coast to the finish.

Coach F was pleased with the win, but as usual, saw plenty of room for improvement in the young, inexperienced squad. The hawks will be severely tested in the Turkey Classic this weekend with the likes of Pelham and Bedford. Auburn is an unknown quantity as they have just moved down from Class M to Class S. The weekend should provide ample opportunities for the team to grow and to experience some challenging situations.

GAME 19

CLASS M FINAL @ Cawley

PELHAM 64  HAMPSTEAD 62 (League 11-3, Overall 14-5)

The Hawks lost a tough one to their rival Pelham. The teams had met 4 times prior to this game and each team had won two games.....

In a typical Hampstead Pelham game one team jumped out early. the Hawks led 22-10 after a great offensive and defensive effort. Ben C's two 3's and James' 6 points led the offense. By halftime the 12 point lead had been cut in half 32-26. By the end of the 3rd periodthe early lead now stood at a lone point. in the fourth quarter, despite Ryan's nine points and some good overall defense, the Pelham boys took a lead into the final 2 minutes and built on it. The Hawks came back with several last minute baskets to narrow the lead, but having fallen behind the Hampstead squad had to foul and hope for some misses and rebounds to get them back in it. Pelham was up to the task however and leading scorer, Keith B.,hit 7 of 9 to seal the victory for Pelham.

Scoring for the Hawks: Ryan 17, Ben C. 17, Zach 12, James 10, Mike 6

Knowing the nature of a Pelham/Hampstead game one realizes that if they play 10 times it usually means 5 wins apiece and this game was no different. Both teams played well and earned each others respect. Despite losing the Hampstead team has a lot to be proud of....they never quit, never downplay the effort of themselves or their opponents, and never leave a gym without someone saying what great competitors they are.....

What a great season.....Thanks guys!!!

 Congratulations to the HMS Hawks Baseball Team on their huge win.
