Sanderson Baseball JV Game Notes
April 21st 2009 Wakefield 12 Sanderson 10
This was a very back and forth, up and down baseball game. As far as the game play is concerned, it was a game that had lots of poor execution by both teams. I thought that we did an excellent job at continuing to battle and work hard. That is the make up of this team that I have really come to enjoy this season. This team has not once given up, not once quit and not once rolled over. We have battled hard all game and all season when we are behind and that is one of the intangibles of baseball that I am very proud we have. We did a great job with some double steals and getting base runners, and anytime you score 10 runs you should come out with a win. Unfortunately, we were not able to execute routine plays and it ultimately caught up to us and beat us. Remember, most ball games are lost, not won. Let’s work hard tomorrow at practice, come back, and get a win on Thursday.
Positives: Scored 10 runs Continued to work hard and battle through adversity We had 5 singles a double and triple Very patient and worked 10 walks Great base running with a double steal and a total of 5 stolen bases Great sacrifice bunt and doing your job at the plate Had at least 2 innings with the bases loaded and either no outs or 1 out. Things to improve: 4 strike outs… 3 looking Defense needs to clean it up and make routine plays. 6 errors is not acceptable We gave them far too many runs (9 out of the 12 we gave to them by errors or walks) Pitching staff needs to throw strikes. 10 walks cannot happen. Especially walks when you have a 3-run lead. Game Awards: Star: Patrick Quinn (1-2 RBI with 2 BB 2 stolen bases, 2 runs scored) Bull Dog: N/A (couldn’t finish game) Gold glove: Christian Densmore Silver Slugger: Joel Haran RBI triple Friday, April 24

April 17th 2009 Sanderson 8 Broughton 5
Good job today coming out ready to play baseball. We came out in the first inning and had a quick 8 pitch inning defensively and then scored 2 in the bottom of the 1st and never lost the lead. With Joel throwing a great game on the mound, we did a pretty good job at scoring runs for him and giving him support. Defensively we need to clean it up for next game. We made 4 errors and all 5 runs were un-earned. We need to stay away from imploding and giving the other team easy runs and base runners. Just continue to make the routine plays from the first pitch to the last pitch and we will be fine. Overall, it was a good win, but we have plenty of areas to improve on.
Positives: Scored 8 runs on only 6 hits, so we made the most of our opportunities. Joel pitched a very good game Kept the composure through a tense part of the game Were patient at the plate drawing 8 walks Good 1st inning Execution of a “hit and run” Things to improve: 4 strike outs… 3 looking Need to clean up the defense Do not give away runs Game Awards: Star: Joel Haran Bull Dog: Joel Haran Gold glove: Joel Haran, Will Altman Silver Slugger: Ben Woodward (3 RBI) Friday, April 24

The conference trend continues with another 1-run game. We have played four conference games and they have been decided by a total of four runs. This competition in conference makes for some great baseball games, and shows how important doing the little things each and every play. I thought this was a very well pitched game and defensively I thought we played solidly, and when we did make a few mistakes, they didn’t harm us. As a team, we had 5 hits, which was ok, but I think we are a much better team offensively than that. We need to get back that COLLECTIVE CONFIDENCE!
Positives: Tom pitched a very strong game. Played very solidly defensively Kept the composure through out the game Things to improve: 1) OFFENSE! Game Awards: Star: Tom Priester Bull Dog: N/A Gold glove: Joel Haran Silver Slugger: Tom Priester Wednesday, April 1

March 31st 2009 WFR 7 Sanderson 6 Just like every conference game that we have played so far, this was a one run ball game. It is especially tough to lose by a walk of homerun, but sometimes you just have to tip your hat to the other team. We did a very good job at coming out and building a lead. We played solid defense except for one inning, and then we did an excellent job at battling back and tying the game up. One good swing on a good pitch can change the outcome of a game. That is why every single at bat, base running play, and defensive play is so important. I was very proud of our effort and the way we played this game, we are going to come back today and work a little harder and focus on winning the JV Tournament. Positives: Offensively we did a good job at starting out with three runs and keeping the pressure in the other dugout Good job being aggressive on the base paths. Great at bat by Christian in the top of the 7th to start the rally Did a great job of coming back in the 7th inning and extending the ball game Never once did we think we were out of the ball game Very solid pitching from Tom and Joel Things to improve: We need to get better at playing with a lead, and holding a lead Stay away from that one bad inning!

March 24th 2009 Sanderson 6 Millbrook 5 This game had everything in it that you could have in a baseball game. The lead changed twice, there was a triple play, and an interference play, and a walk of single. This wasn’t a very cleanly played game, but we did a good job at not having our best and still working out a win. We were ahead, then we had one bad inning, and had to come back and win in the bottom of the 7th. We need to stay away from giving the other team that one inning. When we can consistently make all the routine plays every single inning and avoid that one big inning, we will be a very good ball club. Good conference win. Positives: Won a tight ball game Battled back and got the job done. Patrick good heads up play throwing a guy out at second base from RF Nice defensive play by Ben on a bunt down the 3rd base line Once we started to come back in the 6th, we got the intensity back in our favor Things to improve: VERY BAD BASERUNNING We need to have better concentration, we cant be dropping easy outs on tag plays Game Awards: Star: Patrick Quinn Bull Dog: Joel Haran/ Will Altman Gold glove: Ben Woodward/ Patrick Quinn Silver Slugger: Christian Densmore Saturday, March 28

March 23rd 2009 Middle Creek 14 Sanderson 4 This game might have been one of the most frustrating games of the season. It was frustrating because we did not play Sanderson Baseball. We were lacking intensity, focus, and desire. We came out flat, played flat, and left flat. I think the only real positives that we can take out of this game is that we scored 1 in the top of the first which is always nice to put pressure on early. You also noticed that when we had guys on base and we can execute plays (double steal) we put pressure on people and we ended up scoring 3 runs that inning. It wasn’t a well played game and the score doesn’t bother me because it what we deserved, but the lack of effort and concentration is what bothered the coaches and the team the most. This game is behind us, now lets get ready for conference on Tuesday against Millbrook. Positives: Double steal lead to 3 runs Put up 1 run in the top of the 1st The run we scored in the first was manufactured perfectly. Walk, SB, sac, sac. Things to improve: Lazy Baseball (scored 2x from second on passed balls) Focus and intensity Game Awards: No game awards this game Friday, March 20

March 19th 2009 Sanderson 4 Wakefield 3 Very good job on our first conference win of the season. Conference is a completely different style of game and a completely different level of intensity. We did a great job at not giving up the big first inning and that helped our 1-0 lead and kept them playing from behind the whole game. All of the runs they scored were un-earned, so lucky for us our mistakes did not cost us, but a mistake that does not seem like a big deal at the time, can lead to a 3-run inning and a tie ball game. We did an excellent job at keeping the stress puppy in their dugout, and we came up with a huge hit when we needed it. We had outstanding pitching from both pitchers, and other than that one inning, we had solid defense. Let’s keep the positive momentum going into next week! Positives: Scored 4 runs on 4 hits Stayed away from giving up a big first inning Threw out a base runner to end the first inning Good play by Tom at first base on a hard ground ball Did not panic when the game was tied. Stayed positive, and mentally tough through out the whole game. Things to improve: We cannot afford to take a single play off Two small errors get magnified to make one big inning in conference play Still need to work on better communication on the infield pop-ups Make better decisions on the bases. We cannot get picked off at second base with no outs in the top of the 6th in a tie ball game!

March 18th 2009 Sanderson 12 Cary 7 Once again, we spotted the other team 3-4 runs in the first inning. This is a trend we need to remove from our game. Playing from behind always puts more pressure on the pitcher, defense, offense and coaches. It also limits our aggressiveness on the bases. Other than that, we played solid baseball. We were aggressive on the bases, battled back and had some big innings. When we run the bases well and swing the bats well, it puts a lot of pressure on the other team and increases our odds of scoring runs. This was a good win, and lets be ready for conference play tomorrow. Positives: Put up the most runs we have had all season Executed a double steal Ben made two defensive plays with the infield in that saved 2 runs Good aggressive base running 2 base hit bunts by Joel Turned a double play to end the game Things to improve: Bottom of the lineup needs to do better at scoring runners. Had the bases loaded with no outs and have back-to-back strikeouts! THAT CANT HAPPEN! Communication within the infield and outfield needs to get better. Know who has ball priority Stay away from letting the other team have a big first inning We cannot afford to give away outs. Especially a first and 3rd situation with 2 outs. If we throw down to second to get the last out of the inning, the shortstop or 2nd baseman needs to hold onto the tag!

March 5th 2009 Sanderson 5 Athens Dr. 1 For the first game of the season, I think I can speak for everyone by saying that we played a very solid game. We made a few mistakes that will be corrected for the next game, but overall I was very pleased with the way we played. We had solid defense, good pitching, and timely hitting. We did all of the little things well, and our hustle and intensity was outstanding. If we can keep that mental attitude and continue to play solid baseball, we can and will have a very successful season. Today will be a good test to see how we play on back-to-back days. Positives: Played overall solid defense Had a good sacrifice bunt Didn’t miss any signs Good hustle Decent pitching Made a good 1st and 3rd double play Good intensity/team work No “stress puppy” in the dugout Aggressive base running Things to improve: Too many strike outs on offense. 3 looking 3 swinging Too many walks as pitchers 10BB is way too many Had some bad base running plays. Picked off at 2nd and not tagging at 3rd We could have had more runs if we would have been more productive with runners in scoring position Game Awards: Star: Tom Priester Bull Dog: Will Altman Gold glove: Entire Infield Silver Slugger: Joel Haran Wednesday, March 11
