Cutrones Lawmen Best Reinze On Mothers Day....

On Mothers Day, the Cutrone Lawmen would face Reinze for the second time in the same week, winning the first game on Wednesday with a walk off single to win 4-3 . On this special Sunday with a record of 4-2 Cutrones would put Vincent Rosario on the mound .

With Curtones scoring first and some solid defense would set the tone of this game.  Gasper Artale would get a 2 out single in the first to set up Frank Cerillo who would try to tie the game in the first inning with a long double. With a responsive relay from Kevin Wilhemy to the shortstop Justin Thorpe. Thorpe would throw home to Nick Pollo to tag out Artale at the plate. In the second inning Cutrones would add another run when Pablo Rios singled to right to drive Joe Schenider  from second.  The third inning Cutrones would add a 2 more runs when Thomas Oreilly would lead off with a walk followed by a Kevin Wilhemy single.This would set the table for Vincent Rosario who tripled in both runners only to be thrown out at the plate In the fourth inning another run would be added when Joe DeMartini’s sac bunt scored in Joe Scheinder who led off with a single. This is all the run support Cutrones would need. Rosario pitched 6 solid innings giving up 2 earned runs with 11ks to only be closed out by Ronnie Russo who would get the save.

The team at 5-2 is firing on all cylinders and looking forward to there next game.

    Hey It's Raining Out What Do I Do?


    Parents, managers, and fans please read this important message concerning rain, snow, hail, wind-storms, sandstorms, snow storms, just plain bad weather, and re-scheduled cancelled rained out games. We all hate bad weather and canceling games due to it.. BUT sometimes it happens... So when bad weather hits or you are unsure if the game you are scheduled to play is gonna go on we have one simple Golden Rule here at RGMVM:

    1- YOU MUST COME DOWN TO THE FIELD TO SEE IF YOU ARE PLAYING...     Calling the field the same day, the day before, the week or the night before does not work.. - Sometimes the phone is BUSY.. - Sometimes the message has not been updated.. - Sometimes the phone never stops ringing. So you cannot update the message… Also calling the Division Heads, or the league President, again the same day, the day before, the week or the night before.. IS NOT AN OPTION........ 

    Sometimes you might look out the window and say: "Look at it out there they will never be playing today" Well most of the times we are and you are going to miss the game, or even worse your team forfeits because it did not have enough players.. UGHHH..

    So please remember that one simple RGMVM Golden Rule..

    1- YOU MUST COME DOWN TO THE FIELD TO SEE IF YOU ARE PLAYING...     and everything will be just cool .. :D

    Also managers are required to come down to the field to check the rescheduled date for any rained out games.

    Thanks, Pat

    Important Information On Wood Bats Vs Metal Bats


    January 26,2006

    To All League Members,

    I know there are a lot of questions about wood bats vs metal bats. There has been talk in NYC of looking to have metal bats banned. I just want to share with our league members the updated information concerning Little leagues stance on this subject. Please read it as it contains important information and will help answer many questions that are out there.

    Pat Piteo
    President RGMVM Little League
     

    From: "Little League International"
    Sent: Friday, January 26, 2007 4:11 PM
    To: "Patrick" Subject: Bulletin from Little League International - Enews January 25, 2007

    Dear Little League Volunteers,

    The Youth Committee of USA Baseball today issued the statement below regarding non-wood bats. Little League International is a member, along with other youth organizations, of USA Baseball. Little League also holds a seat on the USA Baseball Board of Directors.

    USA Baseball often coordinates research that affects all youth baseball organizations. For example, USA Baseball was instrumental in the recent change to the league age determination date by all youth baseball organizations.

    -----
    USA Baseball, the National Governing Body (NGB) for the sport of baseball as designated by the Amateur Sports Act of 1978, recently held a meeting of its National Youth Membership, and on behalf of the following organizations has released the following statement:

    1. American Amateur Baseball Congress (AABC)
    2. American Legion Baseball
    3. Dixie Baseball
    4. Little League Baseball, Inc.
    5. Babe Ruth Baseball
    6. PONY Baseball
    7. National Amateur Baseball Federation (NABF)
    8. National Baseball Congress / Hap Dumont Baseball
    9. Amateur Athletic Union (AAU)
    10. United States Sports Specialties Association (USSSA)
    11. National Police Athletic League (PAL)
    12. T-Ball USA

    PERCEPTION: Aluminum bats are more dangerous than wood bats. The National Consumer Product Safety Commission studied this issue and concluded in 2002 that there is no evidence to suggest that aluminum bats pose any greater risk than wood bats. Multiple amateur baseball governing bodies, including the NCAA, National High School Federation, Little League International, PONY, et al, all track safety statistics and have concluded that aluminum bats do not pose a safety risk.

    PERCEPTION: Balls come off aluminum bats faster than wood. Since 2003, all bats are required to meet the "Bat Exit Speed Ratio" (BESR) performance limitation, which ensures that aluminum bats do not hit the ball any harder than the best wood bats.

    PERCEPTION: Injuries from aluminum bats are more severe than with wood bats. Two out of the three deaths from a batted ball in the last decade came from wood bats. Dr. Frederick Mueller, Director of the National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research, has indicated from his studies that catastrophic injuries from wood bats may be more frequent than aluminum bats.

    PERCEPTION: The Brown University study proves that aluminum bats hit the ball harder than wood bats. This study is irrelevant by today's standards. All of the bats used in the Brown study would not be allowed to be used today, because they do not meet the BESR standard.

    PERCEPTION: The use of aluminum bats places children at an unacceptable risk of injury.

    A study from the National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research shows that there have been only 15 catastrophic batted ball injuries to pitchers out of more than 9,500,000 high school and college participants since 1982.

    During the last five years a number of states, individual organizations, city councils, and others have proposed the banning of metal baseball bats on a number of different levels. These actions have typically been in reaction to a catastrophic injury as opposed to being based on creditable injury data or research. In May of 2002 the Consumer Product Safety Commission stated, "The Commission is not aware of any information that injuries produced by balls batted with non-wood bats are more severe than those involving wood bats". This statement was true in 2002 and it is true in 2007.

    The Medical/Safety Advisory Committee of USA Baseball was initiated due to the lack of injury data needed to make decisions affecting the safety of baseball participants. Prior to 2005 there has not been significant research comparing injuries to baseball pitchers from metal bats versus wood bats. In 2005 the USA Baseball Medical/Safety Committee initiated a three year research project comparing line drive baseball injuries to pitchers from metal bats and wood bats. Metal bat injury data were taken from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Injury Surveillance System and wood bat injury data collected from college summer leagues (NCAA recognized college summer league teams all use wood bats).

    After two years (2005 and 2006) of collecting batted ball injury data to the pitcher from 93 NCAA college baseball teams and 246 college summer league teams there have only been 17 injuries to NCAA college pitchers and 15 injuries to college summer league pitchers. Only 32 injuries after 331,821 balls were hit into play (Balls hit into play are calculated by taking the number of at bats and subtracting strike outs and bases on balls). The injuries in the summer leagues were more severe than the NCAA injuries. One-third of the summer league injuries involved the head and face as opposed to none in the NCAA. The third year of the study will be completed in 2007.

    What this data does indicate is that injuries to the pitcher from batted balls are very rare and can happen while using metal or wood bats. There is no data to indicate that the few catastrophic injuries to baseball pitchers from metal bats would not have happened if the batter was using a wood bat. Before any sport makes rule changes, equipment changes, or other changes related to the safety of the participants, it is imperative that these changes are based on reliable injury data and not anecdotal information.

    Here are more hitting tips from our friends at Clutch Hitting to help your game. THE SHORT SWING......IS SOOO IMPORTANT...
    Click the link above for a full breakdown with pictures!

    When practicing and working on your baseball swing, emphasis must be placed on the hands and the path that the hands must take. Learning a "short" swing and not a "long" swing can aid any hitter from little league to the professional ranks. The concept of getting to the baseball as quickly as possible, going from a set position to contact point, going from point A (set position) to point of contact (point c) can be accomplished in a theory developed even before baseball ever existed: A straight line.
