Wheat Ridge Baseball is back and we've got high expectations this season... In my second season as an assistant coach with the club, I am looking forward to making a run with these guys well into the end of May. And, with seniors Eric Shannon and Charlie Land anchoring our pitching staff, I feel pretty confident we'll do just that.We had a rough start on Tuesday, dropping Opening Day to visiting Douglas County 2-1. But, after a full week of work, we bounced back with high energy and big bats against Valor Christian Saturday. We had the breakout game we'd been looking for, ten-running Valor 14-4 in an abbreviated five-inning game. Matt Zarlengo exploded for seven RBIs including two three-run bombs and the walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the fifth.
We play Monarch at Coors Field this Wednesday, St. Patrick's Day at 3:00pm. It's always a thrill playing on the big stage and we seem to fair pretty well there too... hopefully we can keep the intensity up and tack on another win before we head to Arizona for four games over Spring Break.
