Photo of the Day!  Yes, he DID make the catch!!  If this is YOU, stop by our tent for a free “gift”…

Lots of action, some VERY close games (as in bottom of the 6th two outs kinda close…) … and some not so close games… some very heart wrenching stories… life at the ball field at it’s finest.  I’d like to give a shout out to the Gouldsmith Family from Reno, the instaimage family is keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

If you want to pack even more into your 4th of July weekend, stop by the fields this weekend, all three age divisions will be playing, there are 13 games on Saturday and 12 on Sunday, get out there and support your team!

See you out at the fields!

Water bottles, Sport Beans… maybe a camera class (beginner and advanced)… free upgrades on collages… who knows what I might come up with in the heat of the day…

See you out at the fields and the pool!

A bit of a change for today… Bishop Manogue faced McQueen in the first round of the High School Baseball playoffs today… here are some photos from the game.

The pitcher here… also contributed with hits AND got hit in the foot by a pitch… he certainly made HIS contributions today to their win!

The second baseman and shortstop combined for several outs…

The season is wrapping up… Carson has one more regular season game tomorrow on the road @ Manogue… that game will determine what place they are in the standings along with the outcome of the Spanish Springs game… which decides if they’re home or away on Tuesday, May 10th in the playoffs.  Good luck tomorrow fellas!  Bring it home!

Just a few photos… start it off with the scoreboard, still lit up, which has been unusual to see when the team is meeting in the outfield…. except for that 5th inning run… The game ended on a bases loaded walk…

Senior Adam Whitt swinging for a hit…

And lastly… the ever elusive Coach Farnworth in “action” discussing what their next move was going to be.

The JV Softball team faced a much weaker Hug team this afternoon…  Just a few photos here… quite a few more in the gallery from this season… click over to the right under Current Events… Carson High Athletics!!

Softball wraps up their regular season on Saturday at home with a double header.  The Varsity has already secured a spot in the post season… get out there and support your teams!!

I kinda took some time off tonight to enjoy the game and my family came to part of the game… I still got some shots in… more of the JV at their 3:45 game… Here’s a couple from the varsity game before the sunlight was completely gone.  Tough night for both Carson teams vs. Galena.

After nearly a season’s amount of photos… I’ve put my idea down in print… I’ll be honest, this didn’t turn out quite how I had envisioned it but after spending nearly the entire season with the team… I’ll say that it does bring out some of the personalities on the team… I’m introducing it to the world tomorrow at the Sponsor BBQ before the Varsity game at 7:00 PM at Carson High…  Here it is for those of you that can’t make the game.  Like last year, I’ll be selling the poster as a fundraiser for the team… contact me if you’d like the specific details.

 

What a day!  It started at the Carson/Douglas Varsity Baseball game at Douglas High… I shot a few innings of the game but more importantly I delivered the teams & individual photos I took the day before… here’s the varsity team photo.

When I left the game at the end of the third inning the game was tied… Douglas went on to win the game, splitting the series with Carson… Here’s a few from the game…

Shane with some fury to get the out at first and Matt for a base hit early in the game…

It doesn’t SEEM like a long way… but it can take what seems like forever to get from Douglas High to Carson High when you’re in a hurry to get to a double header!  Carson/Douglas softball was at Carson High… so off to Carson I went…  Here are some shots from those games….

When I got to the field and looked through the lens I immediately recognized this gal… she probably doesn’t know this but she’s our sample magazine cover girl at our action event tent… I immediately recognized the facial expression… I took the second shot back in 2009 at the Carson Valley Classic Softball Tourney…  This is part of what makes my job great… seeing these young kids come up through the system, each year getting better and better…

Here’s Carson getting the bats going…

Here’s probably my favorite shot of the day… High Fives for the Senator Man!

Whew… the day is done right?  Nope… home for an hour… see how my ill family is doing… (which IS contagious… and now I’m feeling under the weather but nothing a three hour nap can’t help fix…) and then up to Reno for the Aces game.

For those of you that don’t know, the Reno Aces have a great program for kids called Baseball Buddies.  Baseball or softball teams can participate… the kids get to run out onto the field with the player to their positions, stand during the National Anthem and then the player will sign one item for the youngster.  Well, my friend Jim with Carson Valley Little League asked me to be a part of his team’s participation last night… Thanks Jim!  Here are a few shots…

Unfortunately with my family all ill we decided last night was not a good night to go to the park… so this one’s for my oldest daughter… she LOVES Archie!

And I just couldn’t leave the park without getting at least one photo of the players… 😉
