Wow..  Time sure flies.  It seams like only yesterday when our 2009 Harris Black 13U Players went to Utah to represent Harris at the Babe Ruth World Series.  2009 proved to be another great year for the Harris Baseball and Softball program.  You can see why our program year in and year out produces some of the finest players in the area.  Here are a few highlights (If I missed a team - let me know):

Harris Black 13U Baseball - World Series Participants
Harris Black 14U Baseball - District Runner Ups
Harris Black 9U Baseball - Indiana State Champions
Harris Black 10U Baseball - Indiana State Runner Ups
Harris Black 11U Baseball - Indiana State Champions

Harris Heat 12U Softball - Northern Indiana State Champions
Harris Heat 10U Softball - Northern Indiana State Runner Ups

Unfortunately, 2009 is now only a memory, but the 2010 Season is just around the corner.  You will soon be practicing, working on throwing better, or hitting better or making sure you don't miss one of those crazy coaches signals.  The weather outside is horrible, but don't despair because soon we will be hearing the cracks of a well hit ball and hearing fans cheer on their favorite teams.  2010 looks to be another great year for the HTJBSA Baseball and Softball Programs.

The Harris 13's finished their World Series run last night losing to a very tough team from Florida by a score of 10 - 15.  Harris fell behind 0-5 early allowing 3 runs in the bottom of the first and two more in the second.  As Harris has done all tournament, they fought back and took a 6-5 lead in the top of the forth by scoring 1 run in the third and 5 in the forth.  Florida regained the lead in the bottom of the forth scoring 2 runs.  Harris bounced right back to tie the game at 7 in the top of the fifth, but Florida again regained the lead 7-8 scoring 1 more run in the bottom of the fifth.  Harris tied the game up yet again at 8 - 8 in the top of the sixth inning.  The crowd at the BUNS was completely on the edge of theirs seats (if they were lucky enough to have a seat) with this excitement.   Florida put up 7 big runs in the bottom of the sixth inning making the score 8 - 15.  Harris showed that they were a team that had HEART and tried to pull off one last comeback.  We scored 2 runs, but came up short.  The final score was 10 - 15. 

HARRIS finished 3rd overall in the tournament.  This is an amazing accomplishment for the boys.  They should be proud of themselves (I know the Harris family is).  It was exciting to come out to the BUNS every game and see the overwhelming amount of support that the Harris family showed. 

The team is set to fly home tomorrow.  They should be arriving into Granger around 3:00 pm.  The fire department is planning on picking up their bus at the toll road entrance and escorting them down Brick Road enroute to the park.  It would be really cool if the Harris family could once again show these boys how proud we are of them and what they accomplished by by lining up and down Brick Rd to wave at them as they drive to the park and then come down to the park to welcome the boys home.

Coach Pitch - team 202 (12 - 0)
Single A - team 302 (13 - 0)
Double A - team 1401 (12 - 1)
Triple A - team 404 (12 - 2)
13 - team 1304 (9 - 3 - 1)
14/15 - team 503 (9 - 2 - 1)

Team 202 finished the Coach Pitch season undefeated in a league with 19 teams and some very good tallent.  We have 5 groups of boys that will be competing in summer tournaments around the area from this age group.  You have to have some tallent to be able to field that many All-Star caliber teams.  They faced off against the #2 team in the championship game and went extra innings before falling 2-3 in what certainly was a defensive battle.  Congratulations team 202 on a wonderful season.

Team 302 finished the Single A regular season undefeated, earning them a #1 seed into the tournament.  I had the pleasure of umpiring several of their games and it was easy to see that they were a well coached and tallented team.  Congratulations team 302.

Team 1401 finished the Double A regular season with only 1 loss earning them the #1 seed into the tournament.  This was a team filled with pitching and slugging power.  Congratulations team 1401.

In Triple A, Team 404 started the season off on a terror winning their first 11 games.  They were dominated by exceptional pitching and hitting.  Congratulations team 404.

Team 1304 finished the 13 year old regular season 9 - 3 - 1 earning them a #1 seed into the tournament, which they never looked back and ran through the tournament leaving no doubt who the best team was.  Congratulations team 1304.

Team 503 finished the 14/15 year old regular season with a 9 - 2 - 1 record earning them a #1 seed into the tournament.  This team consisted of solid pitching and hitting.  They made their way to the championship game only to finish a little short against the #2 seed.  Congratulations team 503 on a solid season.  Harris wishes the 15 year olds the best of luck in all their future endevors, and would like to thank them for their time at Harris.

We have had a few questions come up when working concession stand at HTJBSA.  One in particular that needs some clarification is:

Question:  As a parent, can I have my child work for me when I am assigned concession stand duty?
Answer:  Yes, but we REQUIRE the child be no less than 16 years old.  If you have a child less than 16 years old work in your place for your concession stand duty, it will be deemed as if you did not work your scheduled slot and the risk of having your account assessed the $25.00 buyout fee.

If you should have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask our Concession Stand Manager Patti Vavul.
