Baseball in January?


On a very sunny and warm Saturday morning, I joined our son Mike to watch his Newbury Park H.S. JV baseball team play at Thousand Oaks H.S. against the Lancers' JV squad in a Winter League game.

They were scheduled to play two 7 inning games today but we were only staying for the first contest.

The only real action in the morning came on the last play of the game when a single to center field with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning and a Lancer runner on second base. A perfect throw by the Panthers to the plate cut down the potential game winning run.

The final score was Panthers 0 - Lancers 0.

YUM!!!

Now, back at Casa Contreras, it is time to sit back and watch the first two NFL Wild Card playoff games in comfort. It is a good day indeed!
