Mike's Hueneme H.S. Vikings Frosh baseball team only had one game this week, a home contest against the Camarillo Scorpions. Including this one, there are only five games left in the campaign for the Vikings to notch a win.
It didn't look good from the start as Mike only had the bare minimum of nine players in uniform for the first pitch. In the second inning a tenth player showed up from an afternoon dentist appointment.
Possible Contact
The Scorpions' pitcher was really on his game allowing only one walk and a second Viking runner who reached base on a throwing error.
No hits.
They call it "The Hot Corner" for a reason

The quest continues next Tuesday at home against Channel Islands H.S.

SAAF Division I Södra Notes: Ryan Bolland is quickly becoming the hottest, new American coach to hit the EuroBall scene in a long time. It is not just his getting the first year Kristianstad Predators off to a great start, it is the way they are doing it in this traditionally defensive oriented Division.
After their first two games, the Predators have out-scored their opponents 106-8. The other five teams in Division I Södra have only scored a total of 34 points combined in their first two weekends of games!
If Ryan can keep the Predators' heads small enough to still fit in their helmets, then they are going to be hard to beat.

IFL Notes: As opposed to football in Sweden's Division I Södra, the IFL is ALL about offense. The old axiom "Defense Wins Championships" may still be alive, albeit in a somewhat distorted way in the land of the Renaissance.
The Bologna Warriors, who currently sit on top of the IFL table with a perfect 5-0 record, do indeed have the league's best defense allowing 20.8 points per game.
The complete IFL Defensive Points Per Game (ppg) Allowed Chart looks like this:
1. Bologna Warriors (5-0) 20.8 ppg
2. Milan Seamen (3-2) 32.2 ppg
3. Parma Panthers (3-2) 32.6 ppg
4. Milan Rhinos (2-3) 37.4 ppg
5. Catania Elephants (3-1) 38.0 ppg
6. Reggio Emilia Hogs (2-3) 39.6 ppg
7. Ancona Dolphins (4-1) 39.8 ppg
8. Bolzano Giants (2-3) 40.0 ppg
9. Bologna Doves (0-5) 45.8 ppg
10. Lazio Marines (0-4) 52.5 ppg
If you like offense, you will LOVE watching a game in Italy!
