Wow I was amassed at the 7 errors that I saw Grimsley make heard a parent say that was 15 in two games. But don’t take anything away from Dudley they hit the ball HARD!!!!
Coach George O is working with the Kiser kids on many of these same things and he is trying to get the baseball fundamentals across to the kids at a younger age.
Coach George can turn things around or he will die trying…..
