On Wednesday May 9th, Christian Friedrich made his major league debut for the Colorado Rockies. Born in Evanston, IL, Christian played for the Skokie Indians Little League organization and participated in the NSYBA during his pony years. He would go on to play High School ball at Loyala Academy and later to Eastern Kentucky University where he was an All-American baseball player.

As the starting pitcher, Friedrich tossed six innings, giving up 5 hits, 1 walk, and 1 earned run. He struck out 7 batters on his way to his first big league victory. Congratulations Christian!

We’re just about at the start of the new season. For your convenience I’ve laid out all the necessary links here. Coaches/Managers should have a copy of the Spring Rules at each of their games. We also have PDF files on ways to keep track of pitch counts. I will see most of you at the fields in the next few days to distribute game balls.

Due to some technical issues, we have transitioned to this new website. As you can see, things are just being built and everything is temporary at this point.

We are in the process of transitioning all the prior content over to the new website. As of right now you can click the links above to see the Fields and the Schedules… The rest of the site should be polished up in the coming days.
