In 2003 Fatburger set out to make a name for itself, and our players did just that winning games, tournaments, and playing great baseball.  We accomplished alot!!  The memories the friendships forged will last a life time. It was a great experience and I know alot of us enjoyed the ride.  The players & families who made Fatburger Baseball will never be forgotten.  I want to thank everyone for the support of the years, I have been blessed by coaching such great players and getting to know wonderful families.  This year we decided to switch sponsors.  It has taken a little getting used to, so many memories and ties with Fatburger Baseball.  We are now Toyota Baseball, sponsored by Michael's Toyota.  It was not an easy decision but we wanted to provide more coaches for our ballplayers and other things as well.  I hope that everyone who was apart of Fatburger Baseball will venture out to a game.  We still have the same mission:  Play to be seen not heard and show we can play with anyone!!    The players on the current roster:  toyotabaseball.com went thru tryoyuts as Fatburger Baseball, they want to be apart of what the past players had started.  The name has changed but we hope our almuni will still show support.  So for one last time  1-2-3  FAT!!!!!!

Behind the arm of Travis Bradshaw, Fatburger secured a spot in the final four with a 5-2 win over the Nationals.  Thank goodness for great pitching!  The Fatburger offense was stuck in neutral most of the game but managed a few runs here and there.  But a W is a W so off we go to the semi-finals.  Fatburger will take the field against the Seattle Braves at 3pm.  If Fatburger wins then we would turn right around and play in the Championship game at 6pm.  GO FAT!

Fatburger puts the finishing touches on the regular season.  Winning the last three games at home.  Ryan Kopp & Travis Bradshaw combined on a 1-hitter versus Wilkinson.  The only hit--a slow ground ball.  Sean Murphy RBI single, Eric Ninomiya RBI single and suicide squeeze by Brian Grina produced Fatburger's final run. Fatburger wins 3-1. 

Fatburger welcomed the Vancouver Coyotes to Eastlake on Saturday afternoon.  Tyler Clay was up to the task in the first game pitching a complete game.  Tyler was a little rusty but got into one heck of a groove...Mr. Clay struck out the side in the 1st, 3rd and 7th innings.  Also, striking out five in a row twice!! Setting a new Fatburger Record: 18Ks!!! Wow!  Sophmores Russo & Cavanaugh drove in 2 runs each, Nolan Thomas chipped in a two-run single and Sean Murphy scored twice and drove in another.  Fatburger wins 9-3.

In the night cap Fatburger jumped out to a 4-0 lead but watched as the Coyotes put 3 on the board in the third off starter Tyler Kurfess.  Fatburger repsonded with three runs in the bottom of the third.  Jacob Carpenter pitched the next inning and a third. Russo took the hill with the bases loaded and one out in the fifth.  Fatburger clinging to a 7-5 lead Russo struck out the next two batters and closed out the last two innings earning the save. Fatburger was led offensively by Sophmore Matt Dusche 2-run double and Junior Ryan Kopp 2-3 2RBI.

Fatburger now turns it's attention to the Big Fat Deal starting Tuesday @ Eastlake HS. GO FAT!
