Ladies and gentlemen, get autographs now while you can...

The Edmond Rangers participated in a hotly contested pool play tournament at Hafer Park last weekend. It was difficult at times, but all in all a very rewarding weekend. It proved to be a good time for the team to come together and learn to play as a team. The first game of the day was against the Nighthawks, also of Edmond. The Rangers ran in to a buzz saw with a baseball jersey on.

Fowler had a valiant starting effort on the mound, but the Nighthawks would prove far too much for the Rangers to handle this time around. Dodson is set and ready to go should he be called on to make a play. However they would need much more then his services as the Hawks plated 23 runs and ravaged through 3 pitchers while allowing the Rangers only 2.

The evening game would prove to be much more successful for the Rangers. Henry kept things going as the Red Sox were hit early and often by a constant barrage of Ranger offensive fire power. They would jump out to an early lead and never look back as they capped off the week end with a mighty confidence builder, paying back the Sox for a defeat earlier in the weekend by drumming them 15-4. Jones (left) would also contribute to the firestorm supporting his own cause. He would go on to pitch a game that will live in infamy for these Rangers who backed up this great pitching with good solid defense. Jones would chalk up a win in his first ever start of his young career. High (lower left) and Matlock (lower right) would break out of slumps with great offensive games as well.

Cady (left), Dodson (lower left) and Fowler (lower right) made offensive contributions as well.
So much could be said for the improvement seen from the Rangers this weekend. Let's just say it looks like another fun year covering the Rangers.

Matlock and Treat teamed up to play great games behind the plate. They worked hard and will be sore for a few days after being tested greatly.

Thanks for tuning in to the Edmond Rangers Sporting Network (ErSPN). 'Til next time, I'm outta here!
