Another Warriors' player, Matt LeVigne, suffered an injury in an OYA Pony League game earlier tonight. Matt injured his knee while attempting to get a jump out of the batter's box after he hammered a ball to deep leftfield--that reportedly would have certainly been another homerun. The opposing team, Oklahoma, was able to get the ball over to first base to retire Matt as he was unable to get out of the batter's box. He was later carted off the field and taken to an ER. We will learn more about the extent of Matt's injury over the next few days, but remain optimistic that he will rejoin the team in a week or two.
This injury occured shortly after Patrick O'Connor's broken thumb in an OYA Pony League game last week! As devastating as this is for the Warriors, these injuries greatly impact the OYA Arizona State team as both injured players play for that team as well.
Given all of the injuries and scheduling conflicts, the Warriors are only able to field 8 players for tomorrow night's game at Frankfort Square. Unlike the OYA Pony League, nine players are required to play a Chicagoland Metro game. So, the Warriors will call Daniel Cachey up from the OYA Pony League (Michigan team) to play with the team for this one game.
