Cubs vs. Reds

Final game of the baseball season for the Mount Holly Cubs, and they end it with a huge win over the Reds.  The Cubs put up a big offense to score 10-1 with extra innings.  Liam struck out on his first at bat, and seemed a little shaken, but came back later to hit a triple and a single.  His last hit could be heard across the park!  We are extremely proud of his sportsmanship and dedication, and are already looking forward to the next big season...soccer!

 

Getting in his stance before hitting a triple!

 

Congratulations on a big season!

Cubs vs Phillies

Another great game for the Mount Holly Cubs with a 6-5 win over the Phillies.  Both teams played hard, but the Cubs put up great defense late in the game to seal the win.  Liam was incredible from the pitchers mound, fielding 5 ground balls with outs at first base!  He had one hit, and ran hard to score a run.  Saying we are proud is truly an understatement!

Signal to Michael to be ready for a stop at First...

 

Swing all the way through for a single!

Coach Stephen Silas' Father/Son Clinic

Stephen Silas, Assistant Coach for the Charlotte Bobcats held a Father/Son Clinic for select season ticket holders.  We had a great time working out with the coaches and Matt Carroll, Shooting Guard for the Bobcats.  There were a lot of tough drills and contests for each dad and son to work on at different stations throughout the Lowe's Home Court @ Time Warner Cable Arena.
