Off The DL!

Its been a while!  William has been released to play baseball again and he/we couldn't be happier about it.  Although medically cleared I still find it a bit nerve wrecking watching him play.  I'm hoping that will subside soon.  He has played in a couple of tournaments and has another one coming up this weekend.  For taking such a long break and minimal practice before his first tournament he played really well.  In true ETrain fashion Cookie threw him into the fire and put him behind the plate.

Looking forward to a great 2017 Spring Season!

Welcome back 31!

1st at bat - Single to Left with an RBI

End of a Season

Our 2016 Spring Season came to a close on July 4th 2016. I am so proud of all of the boys and coaches.  They all gave their most on the field, at all times down to the last play.  It was a joy to watch the growth and camaraderie between all of them. 

The boys went 4-3-1 in the Under Armour World Series.  

Final Season Stats = 30-20-1   Championships = 5

These boys are ALL HEART!

Stay Tuned for Fall Ball!

Omaha....Somewhere in middle America

I really cant say enough great things about this trip. The boys played excellent and they showed great sportsmanship. Additionally, the coaches all deserve kudos for a job well done.
