Why does it seem like baseball season is never long enough? Blink and it’s fall again.

As things come to a close for the little guys… things are heating up across the board going into playoffs. Wild cards are gearing up to surprise everyone and everyone loves an underdog.

Those teams that stay ready for action work on keeping their game-face ready to conquer again! Everyone wants to win, but there is only ever one team who will advance on. It’s always hard for little hearts, but even in baseball, some of life’s hardest lessons are taught early in palatable ways. Thankfully we always have next season, and all the time in off-season working on your game will pay off next year.

With the season slowing down, this week we have two Players of the Week—no division to be left out (please know that the coaches prepare a little information about each player and that makes these little articles a tad more special).
Regarding Aiden Arriola, the Marlin’s coach had this to say, “Aiden went three for four at the plate with some monster hits over the outfielders’ heads! He’s gotten better every single game.” Way to go, Aiden! Go Marlins!

Karisa Fregoso’s coach said, “Karisa’s continued improvement throughout the season comes from the fact that she treats her practice time just as importantly as any game time she gets to be a part of. Her poise and dominant demeanor are aided by the fact that her basemen and outfielders constantly have her back no matter what the game throws their way. This Saturday’s playoff game was nothing short of the amazing effort she’s always putting into herself and her team. Karisa continues to be the hard working, tough as nails baseball player that her teammates look up to!”

Folks, it’s been a crazy week. I have seen IG posts all over and love them all! This week has been a busy one. Keep tagging FLL, and please follow the league on social media for awesome pictures and the kids’ battling it out for rights to be #1.
