Carson vs. Manogue Baseball @ Manogue

Posted on May 3, 2012 by instaimage

The Miners took the first game of the series today at home… tomorrow’s game is at Carson @ 3:45…

I’m just going to put up a gallery here of photos from the day… Manogue threw four pitchers today… with 17 total runs today there was a lot of hits and a lot of running… we were commenting on the bus coming back that it was kind of a strange game…

Carson is fighting tomorrow for their first round playoff game to be at home… if they win, they seal their own fate and will play the first round at home on Tuesday… time will tell! See you at the field tomorrow!

Carson High Baseball vs. Galena… at Carson

Posted on May 3, 2012 by instaimage

The Senators hosted Coach McNutt’s Galena Grizzlies Wednesday for the second game of the series (Galena won @ home Tuesday)… In front of the program’s sponsors (Sponsor Night at the Park…), Carson split the series winning at home 7-3. Here are some shots from the evening.

Here’s me messing around with something that I think looked pretty cool… Nick’s glove threw big puffs of dust for every pitch… here are two, one really tight from the backside and one so you see more of it all…

Brock batting has been elusive to me the entire season… I went 3 for 3 last night! :) This first one was earlier in the evening before it got really dark… (notice the ball starting to blur…)… and here with the sun gone… I always try to explain to people how dark it is to the camera… ever seen a baseball tube?

Have to show some love for the Coaches! :) It think this was after a dozen cookies…

Jace started on the mound… threw five innings….

… then Cole relieved… tried this from the other side this time… (see that streaked hand… did I mention it’s DARK out there?)

And last but not least… the play that led to the “discussion” that got Coach McNutt thrown out of McNutt Field… (… sorry couldn’t resist that one…) I don’t have a shot milliseconds prior to this to know when Rory got the glove on the base runner so we’ll never know… the call on the field was YOU’RE OUT!

Carson Douglas Baseball… @ Carson…

The rivalry series moved to Carson tonight, under the lights… Carson got on the board in the first inning and kinda didn’t look back winning 6-1. Some changes to the Douglas infield after yesterday’s game at Douglas…

Both teams have three days rest before a four games in four days end to the season… then playoffs!

Here are some shots from today…

A quick shout out to the Carson Douglas JV Teams… check out your school galleries, your photos are up, it’s just late, I have a league shoot tomorrow and need to get some sleep…

I have to single this photo out… Prom is tomorrow for Carson… Cole was showing the fellas his moves… still photos don’t do it justice, a video would have been much better… maybe next time! :)

Carson Softball… vs. McQueen…

This post makes my 200th post to our blog… that’s effectively 200 “events” that I’ve covered…

Before I get to the Carson Douglas baseball games… when I arrived at Carson today I was pleasantly surprised that the Carson Softball Team WAS able to get their game that was scheduled for tomorrow moved to today… so I was able to get some shots of the girls before heading over to the JV Carson Douglas Baseball game…

Here are two shots of the girls putting the bat to the ball to take a win from McQueen…

Carson Douglas Baseball today… @ Douglas High…

The season is wrapping up in just over a week but there is no shortage of games left… most all the teams still have five games left… and the regular season is over in just 8 days… that’s a lot of baseball… this next week is going to take it’s toll on a lot of teams and right before playoffs…

Douglas hosted Carson today for their two day back to back games (@Carson tomorrow night under the lights 7:00 PM game…). With the season getting down to the wire and with the middle section of the NIAA 4A Northern Region standings about as topsy-turvy as it can get with teams needing wins to stay in the hunt… game 1 of the Carson Douglas home and away was… well… it’s kinda hard to candy coat it… the game was ugly. But a win is a win and Carson left Tiger Field with a 5-4 8th inning win.

I’m going to let the “journalists” write about this one… I’ll just put some photos up to show some of the shots I got today… click on them to make them larger… see all the images at the links on the side.
