Hey everyone. I’m just about to head out to watch a couple games today. I’m going to swing by Mamaroneck since it’s the only 11 a.m. game nearby, then head to cover Yorktown vs. Saunders at Fleming Field. I’m interested to take a look at Saunders and see if it’s for real.
I’ll pass along scores. I’ll try and get Jake’s score from Clarkstown South-North Rockland. If I hear of anything, or if you hear of anything, please let’s try to keep the updates flowing. This will be our scoreboard for today.
Let the playoffs begin!

Putting the ball in play on the ground is not always a bad thing, but turning ground balls into line drives will definitely help the hitter’s batting average and chances of playing baseball at the higher levels. Hitters with good speed can prosper by hitting the ball on the ground, especially in youth baseball, but at some point the ability to drive the ball into the outfield is necessary. Of course, hitting ground balls is better than hitting pop-ups but hitting the ball consistently on the ground is a sign of a faulty fundamental swing.
