Ryan Callister - 44 Josh Koppel - 46 Game 2 of Team Achievements 5 game road trip to start the season. The schedule makers were unkind. The team is growing weary missing friends and family. An anticipated match up since two-a-days began back in August 2006. A match up that promised the fans some some hard hitting play. A match up that promised the fans some very aggressive defense. A match up that promised the fans some offensive trickery. A match up that promised the fans an occassional flea flicker. A game that lived up to the hype! There are 4 things that I know about Coach Planz: 1. He can call a pretty good defensive football game. 2. He can introduce a 'carbomb' as some casual & leisure replacement for a glass of Pepsi or Gatorade. 3. He can handle trash talking with the best of them. 4. He can talk about his beloved NY Jets as if they were the 9-time defending Super Bowl Champions like no one else on this planet. As we were the Visitors, we hit first. In between the first and second pitch of the game, we hear Coach Planz yell 'SAM, A Gap'. I look up and his SS and 2B are charging our batter in an all out blitz! I scream in protest telling him that you can't practice football formations during a baseball game. He claims he was simply covering for a potential bunt! OK, coach....whatever.... Both teams came out swinging making the defense stay on it's toes. The Egan boys and Brian Planz did some early damage only to have Tyler, Ryan, Joe, and The Chadster get us right back into it! We had a 3-1 lead heading into the bottom of the 4th when the wheels came off the bus. AAA couldn't get to the ballpark quick enough and a 3-1 lead turned into a 4-3 deficit from which we couldn't recover. Highlights: *T-Pot with a web gem at 2B *Joe with some nice work behind the plate *Josh with a web gem at 3B *Tyler Gates - 2BB, 2B *Ryan - 1B *The Chadster - 1B, 2B *The Jakester - 1B, 1B A great game by both teams! Kids played extremely well. Congrats go out to HLC! A tough game to lose but I left the park in an upbeat mood. The reason you ask? Well - it's obvious - I'm not Coach Planz!!
