We want to thank the @delaware_fury U11 team for stopping by yesterday's game! We hope you all had a great time 🤝

[Greg Mamula @CoachMamsUD]

Great to have @delaware_fury 11U at our game today. The Fury are coached by former Blue Hen 2bman @BrockDonovan5 ‘05 & LHP Brian Ziegler ‘04. Current @DelawareBASE catcher Brett Walmsley played for the Fury.

@CoachMarcusHill So dumb. I hope they won, played all day…those kids played in front of the kids that paid and played all season and those parents watched. Organizations that do that get what they deserve. Absolutely no morals. Sorry Coach. I wouldn’t worry about that crap. I don’t.

[Coach Hill @CoachMarcusHill]

Team threw a 14 year old 116 pitches and also brought in a guest player wearing his actual teams hat against us today. Not it.

A @UDBlueHens Hall of Famer, Dallas had a .88 ERA in 1955. A @DelawareBASE record that may stand forever.

Brandywine LL 10's win Districts 3 to 1 over Naaman's LL. What a game! Team played great and Hank went 5 innings on the bump along with a 3 for 3 day at the plate. Made his brothers proud day!

On to states at Canal LL next week with a chance to go to the LL east Regionals.

[Brock Donovan @BrockDonovan5]

Or vice versa...travel coaches not taking into account LL use.

[Brock Donovan @BrockDonovan5]

@joakes46 @JRudd_Scout Parents and youth coaches don't get it. Need to communicate if doing LL and travel too. Hopefully parents are open to sharing pitch counts with coaches so there is no overuse.

Amazing that LL coaches have to follow PitchSmart, but then don't seem to take into account travel.

Ripken Experience Aberdeen was quite the experience for the Delaware Fury 10u baseball team. What a team effort, the boys had a great weekend and won the field of 15 team tournament with some really well played baseball.

Happy Birthday to the woman of the house! The boys surprised her with a trip to Chuck E Cheese for some competition and Grotto's Pizza for lunch!!! 40 is all good!

[Brock Donovan @BrockDonovan5]

Casual participation in baseball is at more than 8.9 million participants, more than double since the launch of the @PlayBall initiative.
