Stay tuned!!!!!!!!!

Coming soon will be my first human interest piece published on this blog.  I am calling it "Pete and Pick".  I am sure you can figure out the subject matter and you wont want to miss it. 

Also, now that we have six games under our belts, I am going to start publishing offensive and pitching stats.  I waited because the numbers are obviously skewed when we have so few at bats.  That should be done in the next couple of days.

Thanks for reading and tell your friends about this site.  Our guys deserve the notoriety.

Galesburg versus Pekin

Tonight the Streaks defeated the Pekin Dragons by a score of 10-0 in five innings.  We got to see another dominant performance by Tyler Farrell as he moved his record to 3-0 and kept his ERA at 0.00. 

Pictures wanted!!

I am looking for any pictures that you might be taking at our games.  I would like to spice up the blog a little and am finding it difficult to get pictures taken during the games.  My wife cannot make many of the games do to her work schedule and our camera is a little suspect at that.  So, if you are taking pictures of your son, take some of other players to and send them to me.  I will use these throughout the season.  Also, Troy, I notice you taking video.  I figure out a way to display video on here too.  So, if you catch an exciting or controversial play, send it to me in a jpeg or mpeg file.  I will publish it here.

Here is the email that you can send these to and I would be very appreciative.

Thanks

Streaks rebound against East Peoria

For those that came to East Peoria Wednesday afternoon, they were able to witness what I feel to be the most complete game the Streaks have played all season.  Galesburg beat East Peoria by a score of 6-5.  Some interesting things occurred in this game.

Galesburg versus Washington Part II

As you could probably infer from my previous post, the Streaks were defeated by the Washington Panthers for the second time in just 10 days.  This time by the score of 7-6.  What makes this loss a little tougher to handle is that we jumped out to a 5-0 lead behind solid starting pitching by Austin Gernant and a huge base emptying triple by Zach McCrery. Reliever Colton Crain ran into the "meat" of the Panther lineup in the fifth and struggled through a walk and an error on the infield. 

Tough Loss at Morton

We started out well against Morton before falling 11-10 in 8 innings. Drake Sykes threw 3 shutout innings and we had a big 5 run second inning to get up 5 - 0. While trying to save pitching for Saturday, I took Drake out in the 4th inning and put in Carson Cheesman. I failed to make sure that Carson had enough time to get ready and he didn't. Carson wasn't sharp and we didn't help him out defensively behind him as we gave up 8 runs in the inning. We battled back offensively and scored enough runs to win the game, but we again failed to make some plays defensively that led to them getting 2 more runs in the 5th inning.

Gotta get better

I will keep it short for now as i am on the bus and still a little emotional. We need to back up our pitchers...and we need to keep the pressure on offensively with a lead. We did neither tonight and we paid the price.
