FALL Day at Kiwanis

You're all probably sick of me writing about Ludlowe baseball. 

Well, I'm going to again. 

We hosted Fairfield American Little League (FALL) Day for our game vs McMahon on Friday. 

Many people were involved in making the day so great. Special shoutout to Keith Connors from FALL for all his help and organization. Great job as well by Ludlowe baseball parents Amy Crawford, Jennifer Gibson, and Ludlowe head coach Ken Geriak for all their involvement in the day's activities. Sorry if I am not mentioning others who were involved. 

Prior to the game, the Fairfield American players joined the Ludlowe players on the field for the National Anthem. 

The one downside of the day, the sound system did not work well. I tried to do public address for the pre-game announcements and starting lineups. Between my lack of projecting my voice, and the issues with the sound system, I couldn't be heard. I read the first couple paragraphs then we realized in the booth that nobody on the field could hear me. Remind me never to offer again. Thanks to Ben Crawford for taking over and making it work for the pre-game.  

Shoutout to Cristian Connors for his work on the scoreboard. Very much appreciated. 

As far the game, Ludlowe came away with a 4-0 victory behind a complete game from Will Meyers. 

The FALL kids had fun chasing down foul balls and bringing them back to the dugout and competing for who could return the most. 

Following the game, the FALL players came on the field for a meet and greet with the players and players (and coaches) signed baseball's, t-shirts, hats and even bags of seeds for the FALL players. 

The kids were given "Future Falcon" t-shirts and there was the Fire Engine Pizza Truck for all to enjoy. 

There were also some other giveaways, including signed baseballs by the entire team. 

It was a fun community day and I love that a partnership is being built between the Ludlowe Baseball Program and Fairfield American. 

The atmosphere was terrific. There was a vibe all around that was pretty cool. Hope everyone continues to come out and supports Ludlowe baseball! 

Falcon Pride! Never Give Up!
