Lions baseball update

1) This week's schedule:
Tuesday: CNE (V-H, JV-A)
Wednesday: Wilmington (V-H, JV-A)
Thursday: Bethel (V-A, JV-H)
Bethel's game will conclude the JV season.

2) The Varsity may be looking to reschedule the Edgewood DH for this Saturday. Details if and when it is finalized

3) Summer Ball - Coach Laub, Coach Duncan, and myself are all pleased with the number of players playing summer ball this season. Please be sure that your son is not participating IN ANY CAPACITY with their summer team until the season is over... For the JV, that would be after the Bethel game and for the Varsity, it would be after the Lions' tournament is over. There will be a couple of JV players called up after the last JV game to dress varsity, and those players basically become varsity players in the eyes of the state, and MAY NOT do any summer ball activities until the varsity season is over. "Activities" includes any type of practice or game. Please adhere to this rule, as this is the time of year when there are all sorts of "eyes" searching for violators.

4) The Lions earned a # 2 seed out of 12 teams and have a BYE for the first round of the tourney. We will play the winner of Finneytown/Wyoming on Thursday, May 13th, 5:00. This is a home game. The state requires that we charge admission ($5). If we are able to advance, our next tournament game will be on May 20th at a site TBD. You can view our bracket at swdab.org

5) If you were at last Friday's game, you saw one of the best regular season games in Lions history. It is a tribute to our players for hanging in there and not giving up. It was special to see our guys pull together and eventually win that game.....there is nothing quite like a walkoff HR!
