Hitting League Champs

The Mudcats entered two teams in the winter hitting league at Foutch's Strike Zone and it was a highly successful season to say the least! Mudcats-1 went undefeated (6-0) throughout the regular season, beating Mudcats-2 in the final game of the season by a score of 8-5 on the strength of a five run rally in the eighth. Had Mudcats-2 won the game, they would have won the regular season title!

In the league's post-season tournament both teams were dominant once more, meeting up in the championship game. Mudcats-1 again came out on top, this time by a score of 14-13. The title game was in every way a thriller, decided in the final inning with two runs on singles by Justin Pijaszek and Jason Caine.

Eight teams and 37 players took part in the league, but the leaders board was dominated by Mudcats. Kyle Genord (.550), Brian Caine (.540), Kyle Pijaszek (.491) and Kyle Belger (.475) registered the top four batting averages in the league, with Jason Caine (.439) coming in at seventh in the league and Lon Martin (.356) not far behind. The top four slugging percentages also belonged to Kyle Pijaszek (.855), Kyle Genord (.800), Brian Caine (.720) and Kyle Belger (.705), with Jack Scribner (.603) finishing eighth in the league and Lon Martin (.559) again close behind. Only four players in the league knocked in double-digits, and all four were Mudcats: Kyle Belger (15), Kyle Pijaszek (13), Kyle Genord (11) and Jack Scribner (10), with Justin Pijaszek (8) tied for sixth in the league in RBIs. Kyle Genord, Kyle Pijaszek and Jack Scribner (6 each) tied for the league lead in triples and Lon Martin (4) trailed only that trio on the season. 

To a man, every player made big contributions throughout the season. Garrett Sitko was hitting the ball well until he broke a wrist mid-season, and Brendan Silpoch saved his best for last, going 5-9 in the championship game, including the hit that started the game-winning rally.

Suffice it to say, the Mudcats dominated the league. Now we wait for the weather to improve and turn our attention toward the summer!
