Devils Sweep for 5th straight Victory

Nick Barbalato, freshman leftfielder at St Thomas Aquinas is off to fast start for the Blue Devils this Summer.

To Date Barbalato is 14 for 30 with 11 runs scored and 5 stolen bases. His batting average stands at .467..

In the First week of June Nick is 6-9 with 5 runs scored and 3 stolen bases.....

Early in the year 5/14/09 against the New City Outlaws a game that was called because of rain with 3 outs to go for an offical game Barbalato was 2-3 with a Homerun and 2 RBI's and a stolen base...Stats that were wiped off the board.

Barbalato is making a huge impact for the Devils..This weekend he went 3-5 with 3 runs scored in a DH sweep of the Somers Cyclones.

Also chipping in this weekend was John Cole.

Cole went 5-6 with 2 doubles and 3 RBI's.

The Devil pitching staff continues to do a fantastic job. In the Sunday DH the Blue Devil staff gave up only 7 hits and 3 runs all day long while striking out 13. Their team ERA now is an amazing 1.54...

 

June 14th DH Lost 2-1......2-1
Blue Devils get swept away by Thunderdogs........

The Rain and 5 days off has hit the Blue Devils hard.......Coming off a 5 day layoff the Blue Devils bats are as Cold as can be....The Devils took on the NYC Thunderdogs on Sunday only to be swept away 2-1 in 11 innings in game one, and 2-1 in game two. The Pitching staff did their job allowing 4 runs on 11 hits in 18 innings of work, while playing flawless defense in both games. "We blew countless opportunities in both games to tack on runs: said Devils Manager Vinnie Randazzo " Not executing Sac bunts or moving runners over in key situations BURNED US all day long"

" I think our pitching Staff did a tremendous job and gave us a chance to win both games...The Thunderdogs pitchers did a great job of keeping us off balance all day long. Losing to a CLASS team like the Thunderdogs eases the pain a bit"

The Blue Devils must bounce back on Thursday vs the Rockland Rebels.

WHY DO WE COACH?

The Star Thrower
There was a man who was walking along a sandy beach where thousands of starfish had been washed up on the shore. He noticed a boy picking the starfish one by one and throwing them back into the ocean. The man observed the boy for a few minutes and then asked what he was doing. The boy replied that he was returning the starfish to the sea, otherwise they would die.The man asked how saving a few, when so many were doomed, would make any difference whatsoever? The boy picked up a starfish and threw it back into the ocean and said "Made a difference to that one..."
The man left the boy and went home, deep in thought of what the boy had said. He soon returned to the beach and spent the rest of the day helping the boy throw starfish in to the sea....

"Coaches Thought"
Bunting in baseball is as important as blocking in football. In football if you can’t block you won’t move the football, you won’t generate any offense, and you will lose. In baseball, there is a “ho-hum, don’t ask ME to bunt” attitude.

In failing to have a good bunting game players lose the other values of hitting that come from bunting concepts. The threat of the drag bunt keeps the flanks (third and first basemen) playing close to the hitter. This increases the hitter’s advantage to drive the ball past them. In sacrifice bunt situations, the good bunters have the ability to slash hit from a bunting stance, once again taking advantage of the drawn-in infield. The ability to drag bunt, sacrifice bunt and slash hit from a bunting stance will increase every player’s batting average at least 100 points. I did say 100 points! Coaches armed with a good bunting game have the weaponry to attack and score in adverse weather conditions, wind blowing in, cold and wet weather. The bunting game helps you create offense no matter what the occasion or condition.
