Another night watching our boys play for the Marion Berries! This time, Bailey got a broken game bat from his new really tall cowboy first baseman friend, Jake Dodge!

[Max Price @MrMaxPrice]

Three Saxons playing for our new-ish local West Coast League Baseball team, the Marion Berries! Bailey was so excited to see Sawyer Nelson there AND was pumped to find out that both Noah Scharer AND Gavin Price were there, too. Go Saxons!

[Max Price @MrMaxPrice]

A nice end cap on a phenomenal high school career!

[South Salem Baseball @SSaxonsBaseball]

Teagan Scott becomes the first-ever player from Salem to win the Oregon Gatorade Player of the Year award! Scott hit .568 / .694 / 1.203 with 12 doubles, 1 triple, 11 HR, 35 RBI, 46 R, 30 BB, 7 SO, and 22 SB while catching 167 innings.

@CPrendia52195 I’m sure there’s all sorts of shady stuff down there. But I have zero investment in any of that. I don’t know anything about any of what you’re talking about, other than how dumb it looks to have 15 batting order spots in a HS lineup card with travel ball branding on it.

[Max Price @MrMaxPrice]

Even worse than the travel ball branding on a HS lineup card is the FIFTEEN spots available for the batting order 🤣🤣

[eric sondheimer @latsondheimer]

The Ganesha starting lineup. Never seen a lineup card for a club program and high school program. This is either the future or the Apocalypse has arrived.

Moving quite like sliding a hot, soaking wet helmet over your noggin after Big Jim just wore it for a trip around the bases on a 100-degree July day.

[Steve Johnson @LegKickNationOG]

I told my 8 year old that we used to have 5-6 team helmets and 2 team bats that everyone shared.

Blew his mind.

[Max Price @MrMaxPrice]

We stole 108 bags in 28 games this spring at a 92% rate. Only one runner got caught stealing more than one time (2). We don’t give steal signs.

We take the gloves off, let them run, teach them as they go, and don’t get upset. It’s all just information.

[Max Price @MrMaxPrice]

A truly remarkable feat. And some of his best games were played with a crippling migraine, when he could hardly see.

[South Salem Baseball @SSaxonsBaseball]

Over the last 4 years, through migraines, shin injuries, a smashed nose, bumps & bruises, for all 115 games, all 742 innings, Sawyer Nelson played shortstop for each of his 16 pitchers’ 12,382 pitches. And he did it as the premiere SS in the state. He’s the Iron Man of Saxon ⚾️.

[Max Price @MrMaxPrice]

🤣🤣🤣 it’s revolting

[Ben Whitehead @BenOnSports]

Imagine having to explain to someone seeing Wazzu vs Oregon St in Eugene that this is not a Pac 12 Tournament game, but an NCAA Regional of a Mountain West team vs an Independent team at a Big Ten stadium.

[Max Price @MrMaxPrice]

Hey we know this kid!

Walk up songs, pregame + between-innings music, sticker giveaways, fan experiences, and quality (+ quantity of) uniforms aren’t distractions; they’re all part of creating a culture that promotes a Major League experience. Players love it. Parents like it. Fans show up.

[Max Price @MrMaxPrice]

@mamedina8 Nice! Thats a red shouldered hawk. They can be super loud.

[Max Price @MrMaxPrice]

Playoffs start Monday. One of our red tailed hawks found a new place to chill. Gotta be a good omen.

[Max Price @MrMaxPrice]

Playoff time!

[South Salem Baseball @SSaxonsBaseball]

On this Memorial Day, join us before the game for a moment of silence to honor those who lost their lives protecting our nation. Then, OSAA 1st round playoff action: Saxons vs North Medford. First pitch at 4:00pm. #GoSaxons

[Max Price @MrMaxPrice]

Fun fact: every pitch thrown by our team in 2019 was thrown with a little gummy looking guy named Jerome in the pitcher’s pocket. Went 24-6 with a 2.49 ERA that year. Once we even stopped by a pitcher’a house on a bus ride to get it from his dirty clothes after he’d forgotten it.

[Jomboy Media @JomboyMedia]

UCLA pitcher Angel Cervantes keeps a mini dinosaur named Jerry on the mound with him every time he pitches

[Max Price @MrMaxPrice]

Good end to the regular season!

[South Salem Baseball @SSaxonsBaseball]

Ben Greer and Sawyer Nelson both homered. Buckingham, Bowman, Fredinburg, and Timmerman combined for the shutout on the mound to send the Saxons regular season into the past. Home playoff games on Monday against another baseball team. #GoSaxons #BeatTheLine #WinAnyway

[Max Price @MrMaxPrice]

This is what often happens to Oregon teams who travel to Arizona for spring break. 100+ teams. $25,000 trip. And now you’re playing a team that’s 45 minutes from your campus back home.

You should still go, though. Just a silly wrinkle.

[Jordan Moore @iJordanMoore]

College athletics is so crazy now.

Cal baseball, a team located on the Pacific coast but somehow in the ACC, flew to Charlotte, North Carolina for a single-elimination conference tournament game against Stanford… a school 90 minutes from their campus.

They traveled 2,715 miles across the country to play a regional rival, lost one game, then had to hop on a 5.5-hour flight back to California 😂

[Max Price @MrMaxPrice]

@BbCounty I’m not actually sure what you mean.

[Max Price @MrMaxPrice]

College coaches and pro scouts: you will be charged by the ticket taker. That’s their job; they’re the ticket taker. If your org cannot afford the HS ⚾️ ticket cost, it might be time for a conversation with the higher ups.

[Coach Blanchard @Maris_Blanch]

It’s HS ⚾️ playoff time! If you’re working the ticket table and see someone walk up with a backpack, pen, stopwatch, & college logo, tell them to enjoy the game and keep working hard. Nobody asked you to pay to work the table, don’t ask us to pay to do our job. Carry on🫡@MSHSL

[Max Price @MrMaxPrice]

@KannonVan10 Also think students should get in free, too.
