Baby Birds 7-1 over SK on a cold miserable day at SK. Sam Hennigan, freshman, started on the hump and went 3 full innings and gave up 1 run in the 1st inning. Griffin Leighty came in relief and pitched 4 shutout innings. Efficient outing for both pitchers.

 

Hitting leaders for the Birds were Rob Gabbard ,freshman, 2-4 double and 2 RBI's. Cooper Schwalbach, 8th grader, went 3-3 with triple, 2 doubles, and 2 RBI's.

 

I don't have any info on SK since I wasn't at the game. Spent my time at another cold baseball game.

Way to go Baby Birds! Schwalbach can definitely crush a ball. Kid is going to be a stud.

Cooper is a Freak baseball player. There were some uninformed people throughout town that spoke that he shouldn't have made the team. I'm thinking he might be the best player they have on the Frosh team.....The best players will play!

Good for Cooper showing the naysayers that he deserves to play. This all comes down to who makes the team better and he falls right in that category.

I'm guessing Schwalbach will be playing JV too?

I'm not sure JV needs him! IMO he will stay with the Frosh squad.
