Pitch Count reminders

There has been some confusion on the pitch counts for the 2010 season. This season's rule book was not out yet when a portion of our coaches manual was printed. The pitch totals that relate to days rest have changed somewhat since last year. Here are the 2010 Little League pitch count rules.

11 to 12 year olds - max of 85 per day
9 to 10 year olds - max of 75 per day
7 to 8 year olds - max of 50 per day

66 or more in a day - 4 calendar days rest required
51 to 65 pitches - 3 calendar days rest required
36 to 50 pitches - 2 calendar days rest required
21 to 35 pitches - 1 calendar day of rest required
20 or less pitches - no rest day required

Example: if a pitcher throws 52 pitches on a Monday, he must then rest Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The pitcher would be able to pitch again on Friday.

We hope this clears up any problems that may have arisen.

Hits keep coming

Once again, congratulations to some of our talented players in the Major League division. Gabe Stanley hit his first home run in last nights game against the Yankees and pitched a great game also. Nick Wotell of the Yankees hit his second home run of the season to tie the game in the bottom of the 6th inning. Keep up the great play guys.

Schedule Change, honors, and announcements

Friday nights Minor League games will be moved to Saturday due to conflicts with school activities.

Congratulations to 2 of our Major League players, Dale Russ and Nick Wotell. Dale hit his second home run of the season Monday the 10th, and Nick hit his first in last weeks action. Keep up the good hitting guys.
