Game #3 - Brewers Grind Out A Great Win
For our Game #3 recap we have some great comments from our Coach:
"I think the boys and the parents should be extremely proud of how far they have come. We brought together 14 boys, most of them not knowing each other or their coaches. Coaches had never coached together before. In four weeks these boys have gelled together to make a formidable team. Before we ever played our first game we parents had all seen and noted how much they had developed their game. Four weeks ago they were full of hope and ambition. Now they are full of confidence too. I hope everyone is having as much fun as I am this season. Go Brewers."
Coach Ehmke

Game #2 - Brewers Celebrate First Victory
Last night the Fort Lauderdale Little League Brewers carried their momentum from the end of the last game right into this one. Playing at an unfamiliar field with some pretty good rain coming down during the first inning, the boys did an amazing job staying focused and ready to play. Everyone out there had a great attitude and gave their best effort throughout the night.
We had some definite highlights that deserve mention. The bats were swinging and we even had a couple of back-to-back home runs! Way to go guys! And certainly a highlight for the night was the incredible pitching performance where our pitchers combined 12 strikeout game.
The game on Saturday will be against a tough team, but the work the Brewers have been putting in these past few weeks, with near perfect attendance for games/practices/clinics, should make this a great game you won't want to miss.
Keep up the good work guys!

Game #1 - The Season Has Begun
That's right. The first game for the Federal Park Little League Brewers is in the books. By all accounts, it was a total success even though the scoreboard said it ended in a tie. After a slow offensive start, the Brewers all started hitting the ball and made up the runs they had given up early on.
The effort of the boys was incredible, as well as the amount of improvement each player has made in just a few weeks of practice. For many of the guys, it was their first time hitting with another kid pitching to them. No doubt it can be a little scary, but the boys found a groove and everyone did a great job.
I would be remiss to mention how proud I am of my website co-creators, Austin and T Matsoff. Austin was given the role of starting pitcher in his debut and took the mound with pride and confidence. He had three key strikeouts to go along with a huge triple (which was actually his first hit ever!). His little brother T got called in as his relief pitcher. T was also making his pitching debut and he made the most of the opportunity. When you talk to him he may seem a little quiet, but hand him the ball and his arm can do some serious talking for him! He managed to strike out the side his first inning, and K'd two more in his second. The other team had the winning run on second base and T managed to strike the next batter out to end the game. He also helped the team out with a single and a double in his first game going against a kid-pitcher.
We are hoping that as the games continue we will have some photos of all the Brewers in action. If you have any, please send them to us at strikezonemag@yahoo.com.
