U8 -  Recap of June 28th's game

The U8 Pottsgrove boys baseball team rallied in the top of the 6th inning to beat E. Norriton  11-8. The boys were down 8-7 going into the 6th and strung together a hitting display to score 4 runs. The defense held up in the bottom of the 6th retiring the hard hitting East Norriton in order not allowing a runner to reach base. After giving up 7 runs in the first 2 innings the defense held on only allowing 1 run in the final 4 innings. The bats were alive all night for Pottsgrove which improved their record to 4-0 in the tournament. "The boys were never out of it, they hung in all night and decided they would win this game". "Our coaches and parents could not be more proud of these boys". Pottsgrove hit the ball hard all night. The boys advance to the semi finals tonight against the Oreland Bulldogs at Cole Manor Elementary School . The Bulldogs are also 4-0.                  -Greg Biagini

PGLL ALUMNI UPDATE
 

Nathan Fretz and Matt Wehr both are current players on the Pottsgrove Jr. & Sr. Legion teams.  They were selected to represent the Berkshire Baseball 15u All Star Team on July 8 at the Reading Phillies Stadium

 

The game was against Jeff Potter's 15u All Star Team that is traveling to 14 different cities over the month of July.  The game was played with wood bat. 
Both teams will be hosting a clinic and a car wash on July 9 in Reading.

 

Jeff Potter wrote the book "What Ever Happened to Baseball" and will be at the game to get his message out - How He Plans to Save Baseball.

  The following is some information on the tour.

Potter Baseball Tour

Every once in a while, every blue moon, an idea comes around that when you hear it, you wonder why it hasn’t been done before. It just seems so natural, so fun, and so right.

Every once in a while, we all just shake our heads and wonder how we could all miss the obvious, the thing that is right in front of our eyes, the proverbial “can’t see the forest through the trees”.

It’s time for all of us to take that step back, and look from a distance.

For the first time, perhaps ever, look at the game of baseball the way it was meant to be played. Put down the jugs gun and the metal bats; replace them with inspiration and motivation. Instead of coaches calling the pitches, have them enjoy watching the players figure out what pitch to throw. Instead of coaches being the main attraction on the field, let them be in the shadow, allowing the game to be played like it should be played; by the players.

It’s time for the coaches to be men of character, discipline, and respect, without the ego.

It’s time for the parents to understand that the game of baseball isn’t life or death.

It’s having fun, winning, and getting better…all rolled into one. It’s asking your kid what he wants, rather than convincing the child of what you want.

It’s time for the players to play for nothing more than personal satisfaction, personal development, and a huge dose of fun.

July of 2010 is going to bring us an event that will take all of us back in time, “back in the day”, when life was fun and innocent. We will leave our jobs and lives and bills and problems for a few hours, and go down to that local ball field and watch a bunch of kids have more fun than we ever imagined. And while observing this, we may also be taken back to our childhood, back to never, never land, where we all were safe and secure and could dream…..

Everyone, enjoy the process.

Enjoy the ride.

Enjoy the Potter Baseball Tour…..

It is baseball the way it should be.

It is baseball the way it could be.

It is baseball the right way.

It’s all good.
