As promised, here is the revised schedule for all 4 of our all star teams for this Saturday July 3rd.
The 11 and 12 year old girls softball will play Watauga National in Boone at 1:00 in first round action.
The 11 and 12 year old boys baseball will play Wilkes American at Memorial Park in Wilkesboro Saturday at 3:30.
The 9 and 10 girls softball will play Wilkes American at home at the Hodge Turbyfill complex at 1:00 Saturday.
The 9 and 10 year old boys baseball will play either Ashe County or Lenoir at home at the Hodge Turbyfill complex at 1:00 Saturday.
As you see, we are hosting both the softball and baseball 9 and 10 year old games this Saturday. There will also be other counties in action at 3:30 at our fields. Please come out and support our league and our teams.
On Monday, the 9 and 10 boys faced a tough opponent in Wilkes National. The outcome wasn't in our favor with Wilkes coming away with a 14 to 1 victory. A few errors and some very well placed hits put Avery behind early. The boys played hard, and learned a few lessons along the way that will help them in their next game on Saturday.
Everyone come out to the fields in Newland to support the teams or travel to Boone or Wilkesboro to give our kids the backing they need in these away games.

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.

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.

We will have a picture schedule posted in a day or two.
