Player of the Week, 5/14
Here are our players of the week, sponsored by Eureka Burger
Brewers - Joe Ceccarelli Joe Ceccarelli was chosen as player of the week due to his great attitude. He comes to the practices and the games willing to give 110% for his team. His best position is 2nd base (and his favorite, too!) along with playing catcher. Joe has been playing at Claremont Little League since T-Ball. His favorite Major League team is the Red Sox and his favorite player is Dustin Pedroia. The Brewers are proud to have him on their team....Way to Go Joe!
Cardinals - Alexander Harris Player of the week for the Cardinals is Alexander Harris. Alex has hit three homeruns this season - his most recent one being a grandslam to help the team rally back to tie the Giants. He always hustles to back up bases and has made some "sportscenter" plays in the outfield. He comes to practice ready to play and has improved greatly this year.
Pirates - Reggie Retzlaff Reggie Retzlaff is the Pirates player of the week. Reggie has been a solid performer for the Pirates the entire season. He currently leads the team for batting average, on base percentage, and ERA.
Orioles - Drew Pugno Drew Pugno is our Player of the Week. What I like about Drew is not just his hitting, raising his batting average 300 points, or his infielding/outfielding, or his running, but his smile. He always tries and gives his best. No matter what happens, he is positive and enjoys the game. His hitting has improved so much, he always gets two to three hits a game. His smile has grown even more. It is a pleasure to coach and player like Drew.
Lost and Found
Starting on Saturday, April 21st, the contents of our lost and found bin will be placed out on a table either near the snack bar or behind the left field fence of field 1. If you have ever lost anything at College Park, please take a look to see if your stuff is there. We will make our best attempt to have the stuff from that bin out every Saturday until the city tournament.
FRIES!
Some electrical work was done on the snack bar which now allows the snack bar to have a deep frier that was installed and used for the first time on Thursday night (3/29). Tylie was our first paying customer and she loved them! Woo hoo!

Little League Announces Bat Rules for 2012
Little League International has provided an updated set of rules that will be used in 2012 ahead of the publishing of it's official rules. Here's the text of the email our district administrators received:
Dear Little League District Administrators and Local Little League Presidents,
As noted in our e-mail message yesterday, we have posted an announcement regarding upcoming changes to the bat rules and specifications for the 2012 season.
Little League is taking this step, before the rule books are actually published in December, to give parents and leagues a timely "heads up."
Please take this opportunity to forward this message to others in your district/league, and post this announcement on your district/league web site and social media pages.
As always, thank you for your support of Little League Baseball and Softball.
Sincerely, Little League Baseball and Softball
Please take a moment to review the new rules, in particular the changes in enforcement of these rules as using an unsanctioned bat could change the outcome of a game.
