Holt Jr Rams U10 Orange wins again at Stockbridge

On Thursday night, our little Rams really showed their mettle by playing a full game in some very wet and cold weather at Stockbridge. It was a chilly and rainy night with most of us parents huddled under umbrellas to watch our team tough out the weather and play ball. The Stockbridge Mustangs #3 team was just as tough, hanging in there and at one time, pulling into the lead. In the last inning though, the Jr Rams U10 Orange team dug in their heels, picked up their heads and came back for an 8 to 6 win. Our current standings are 3-1. We are so proud of all of the players for their perserverence that night! We are looking forward to (hopefully) better weather at home on Monday when we face the Jr Rams U10 Blue team.

Chase started the game off with a fantastic double. Christian and Chance both recorded hits with two RBI's and the rest of the team did their part to help secure the team's second victory.
