Countdown to YA Cardinals Winter Party (Jan 30/10)

Just like the old grizzly bear, baseball players are or will be in hibernation mode soon, as they have spent the past few months chasing wild game in hopes of putting on as much winter fat as possible.
News to ponder over the winter:
Winter Party is set for January 30
5th Annual Beer Bust is schedule for April 17
YA Golf Tourney is scheduled for Friday June 4
Merchants Day is schedule for Saturday July 10
YA in Hamburg/GI Tourney, rumored to be the end of June

Season Over!

 The Winsted Wildcats put an end to Young America's run in the regions and their season with an emfatic 11-1 win in 8 innings. The Wildcat bats that were held silent over the first weekend of regions exploded in the 3rd inning of the game and they didn't slow down. YA had no answer for the attack as Winsted blew up 4 different Cardinal pitchers.
Josh Anthony (draftee from Watertown) took a Franck high fastball and ushered it into the evergreens over the right field fence. 2 batters later, Joe Kley almost knocked over the new Glencoe scoreboard with a 2 run homer. A few hits later and Francks day was over. The Cats bombardment continued with mutliple doubles to all directions of the field, and then Marc Kohler lined a 2 run dinger over the left field fence. Then in the 8th, the Wildcats finally ended the game when a hard hit ball was fielded uncleanly by the Cardinals infield that was so solid all playoffs long. The eleventh run scored and just like that, YA was done in 2009.
On the other end, Josh Anthony kept the Cardinal bats in check both days (game suspended on Saturday b/c of terrential rains) as he only allowed 3 hits thru the 8 innings.
