Not the way we envisioned

I needed to wait a day to write this.  It would not have been productive if I tried to write about the game last night.  Too many emotions involved.  Disappointment at the way we played.  Anger at the officiating.  Sympathy towards the guys leaving.  Embarrassment at the way we chose to react to tough situations.  Sadness because of the fact that I may not get to see a few of these guys again for a long time.  And what will make this worse is that next week, when I am at the field and getting it ready for the sectional games, I will go through all of these emotions again.  It truly is a disheartening situation.  However...

I would like to say a big thank you for those out there still reading.  It has been an enjoyable endeavour for me to do this blog.  I hope that it has been, and will continue to be, a source of information and entertainment for the readers as they follow Streaks baseball.  I hope to continue seeing your support as the Streaks will attempt to achieve their most important goal of the season...to make it to Joliet.

Go Streaks!

Regional Game is postponed

We will play tomorrow at 4:30 in Geneseo.

Streaks finish regular season with a loss to PND

In a perfect scenario, I would like to win every single time out.  Competitiveness is a driving force not easily removed for some people.  (It can also cause problems...ask my wife)  Ideally, the coaches would like to go into the post season on a high note.  That didn't happen as the Streaks lost to PND by a score of 4-0...running their regular season record to 26-9.  However, in this particular situation, I think the bigger picture was more important than the individual game.

Streaks Classic Weekend Post

I am going to keep this post very short.  The Streaks went 2-1 in our own weekender.  We lost to Dunlap 7-4, beat Springfield Southeast 18-0 and won a wild one against East Peoria 16-15.  Obviously we have our issues right now handling the baseball.  We hit rock bottom (hopefully) against East Peoria on Saturday.  We don't know any other way to fix it except to just keep at it.  It is a 100% sure thing that the coaching staff will not give up...and that is all we want in return. 

For some reason though...I have a different feeling after the E.P. game.

 Like things are about to turn around.

 I hope so.

 See you on Monday versus PND (yes again)!

Go Streaks 

Sophomores end season at 14-14 with loss to Moline

We battled back and made it a competitive game, but the early 4-0 hole that we dug ourselves was too much to overcome a solid Moline team. With the loss, we end the season with a 14-14 record.

Galesburg defeats Peoria Notre Dame

On a beautiful May evening, Galesburg got by Notre Dame by a score of 12-3.  Austin Gernant got the victory while the Streaks ran their record to 24-6.  The victory was not without its problems though...
