"SAFE! I saw it all!"

Undefeated 18+ Militia triumph over the Bulls!

By Jared Glass

I’ve always wanted to put together my own team of friends to play baseball with , maybe for the last time ever as life takes us in different directions daily. The Militia team started with a few guys I met from the initial team such as Sean Prince, Ben Simpson, John Hicks, Kevin Vaught, Chris Belanski, Tyler Neloms and myself. I then reached out to other players from my Stafford Militia Babe Ruth All Star teams from 2014-16. We finished as high as 3rd in the state of Virginia in 2015. The new players consisted of Brad Sullivan and his brother Zach, Gunnar Goodell, David Tignor, Connor English, Scott Doescher, Cody Harrell and my Dad to be our player/coach.
We actually had a few practices before the season started and some important bonding sessions to just hang out and talk baseball. This season was very special to me and one I’ll never forget. Thanks to Ron and Legends Baseball for the opportunity to continue to play this great game we all love.

Congratulations to Militia on winning the Spring 2018 Playoff Tournament in the Legends 18+ Division!

18+ MVP Brad Sullivan!

"Closer!"

"I got this, team!"

"Yup, I see incoming!"

"BANG!"

30+ Padres bring home the championship!

By Harold Goldzung
It’s always good to win the last game of the season. The Padres 2018 Finals victory was particularly satisfying for multiple reasons none more so than how it encapsulated our season. All season long the entire team stepped up at one point or another to get a clutch hit or make a great play in the field. And we never gave up. The Spring 2018 playoffs with our come from behind win in the semi finals and our dominant performance in the finals perfectly illustrate how we played all season. It was truly a team effort with everyone contributing to bring home the win.

The Padres roster is filled with guys who love to play ball, enjoy playing together, and like to win. This ‘Padres Spirit’ is particularly evident in our Spring 2018 MVP Blake Dunn. As our lead off hitter Blake is the spark plug to our offense; In the field Blake plays wherever we need. Over the course his tenure on the Padres he has played Center Field, Third Base, Shortstop, Second Base and Catcher and very rarely Pitcher. At every position he is aggressive and present. I believe every player on our team will agree that he is a great teammate.

Now it’s on to Fall.
