Rib Lake Osprey Baseball

[Sir Henry]

WE WON! The game ended after 7 innings on a mercy rule. We gave up 5 runs in the first just to score 13 in the bottom of the inning. Then scored more in almost every inning.

Three touchdowns to two field goals, that’s a lot of scoring.

Congrats to your team.

We play again at 3 pm today. It’s the second round of the playoffs.

We won today after a rain delay and advance to the next round. In a small town the ball players are also the ground keepers.

Since we were the home team only our team worked on the field.

In the meantime kids jumped in mud puddles.

The osprey could not see the fish on the wind blown lake so they stayed in their nest with the young.

Glad they got the game in with all the rain in your area or nearby anyway. Congrats Rib Lake Osprey on another win.

You can't beat a small town.

Our small town boys made it to the state playoffs. We play Friday and if we win we play Saturday. If we win Saturday we play Sunday. I’ll miss the Friday game because the gang chartered a fishing trip on Saturday (we leave Friday). If we finish by noon we plan on beelining it to the game.

I’m sorry to announce the Osprey lost last night 11-0. It ended after seven innings with a mercy rule. We had a blast before the game hanging out with the team. And we are staying at the same hotel with them and the other seven teams.

The Osprey were much younger and smaller. We have several teenagers with two only fourteen. The oldest is 42. We also only have twelve on the team with usually only ten or eleven showing up at a game. Compare that to some teams with 25-30 players.
