Texas Rascals



Michael was invited, along with a couple of other Storm members, to play as guests on the Texas Rascals in a tournament this weekend. The tournament was in Hurst and it was boiling hot out there! But, the boys all played very well even if the scores don't show it. Michael was the primary catcher, the position he loves the most, but found out just how hard it is to wear all that gear in the 100+ heat. He was a trooper and has a catalog of all of the times and places he was hit with the ball. As his coach told him though - "You know how to not get hit with the ball? You catch it." Better advice never given. Michael made some great plays, chased a runner back from home plate to third and even got a guy out at home plate. We're looking forward to possibly more games with the Rascals if they'll have us back.
