Photos from Park Forest

The following photographs from the Park Forest game are courtesy of Kim Lewis:

The Warriors get ready to take the field in its third road game of the 2008 season...Matt Dahlgren helped get the game off to a good start by fielding a fly ball in centerfield to retire the first batter of the ballgame. Matt is a sure-handed outfielder with good speed and instincts for the game.
The Warriors' only lefthander, Matt Dahlgren, pitched the fifth inning of the Park Forest game...
Matthias Dietz scored three of the Warriors' nine runs in the game. Matthias now leads the squad with ten runs scored in the season. He also pitched two innings of scoreless baseball to get the Warriors off to a great start in this game...
Aggressive baserunning was a big factor in the Warriors' 9-5 win over Park Forest. Ryan Novak successfully stole second base in this photo. Ryan had two more hits in this game and is now hitting .375 for the season...
Sam Marc also had two hits in the contest and is now tied for the team lead with a .500 batting average. Sam ranks second on the team with an impressive .625 on-base percentage after 16 plate appearances... Grant Lewis was called out on this controversial play at first base, but he drove in the winning run on the play. This was Grant's 7th RBI of the season, which is tied for the team lead with Mike Rafferty...
Dan Victoria takes a lead off after reaching base on a single in the middle innings of this one. Dan is one of only three 11 year old players on the Warriors and has elevated his on-base percentage to .333 for the season. The Warriors expect big things out of this young talent as the season progresses...
Jack Lebert continues to run the bases aggressively for the Warriors and has an impressive .500 on-base percentage for the season. He is one of the team's most solid players fundamentally in all aspects of the game...
Mike Rafferty was dominant as a closer for the Warriors. He entered the game in the bottom of the sixth inning with a two run lead. Mike pitched two innings of scoreless baseball and struck out six batters to record his first save of the season. He struck out two of Park Forest's best hitters on wicked change-ups that were practically unhittable...
