A battle o the bats ensues when the baseball and sotball team ace o in the rstever game between their teams.

On an unusually warm and sunny day

at the sotball diamond on March 8,

posters were taped in the chain-link ence and

balloons hung around the concession standwhile the sotball girls lled the home dugout.

In the visiting dugout, however, the opposing

team was not their average opponentit

was the baseball team.

The sotball girls and baseball boys

aced o, but the change-up was not

just or un. The teams collaborated

or a good cause: to raise money

or Camp Hendon, a camp or

children with diabetes. A lot

o the money was raised

through contacting sponsors and getting

them to sponsor our game, Sadie Cohen (12)

said. And then the rest o the money was

made with ticket sales and concession sales.Some players, like Samantha Klein (11),

had personal attachments to the cause. I

have diabetes, Klein said. Ive had it or two

years, and the camp director actually wants

me to go to the camp now.

Both teams coaches collaborated to de-

sign a set o rules that combined sotball and

baseball, so players on both teams were aced

with new challenges. We didnt really know

what we were gonna do at the game, so we

didnt prepare or it or anything, Klein said.

We just showed up.

Highlights

1. UP IN THE AIRON| Aaron Pearcy(12) sees how

high he can jump as a way to keep loose between in-

nings. The un envirnoment lead to losts o down time

throughout the game. The girls played a lot harder

than I expected them to. It was probably one o the

most interesting experiences o my lie, said Pearcy.

The baseball coaches pitched baseballs to the

boys team when they were on oense, while the girls

played deense. The sotball players pitched sotballs

to their own team while on oense, and the boysplayed deense. The boys were required to bat with

their o hand to avoid hitting balls out o the park.

Many plays were just kind o routine little dinky

hits because we both couldnt hit with the pressure o

having the other team right there, Cohen said. No-

body was, like, spectacular at playing the game since

we played it a lot dierent than our normal games.

The baseball team won 14-0, but at the end o

the game, the ocus wasnt on winning or losing. The

teams undraising eorts$5,600were a bigger

source o excitement. I thought it would be a close

game, but we destroyed them, Andrew Olson (12)

said. But thats not really what it was about. We just

wanted to have a good time and raise some money

or these kids.

ON THE FLY| Connor Kriz (12)

catches a pop fy. Everything I had

ever worked on in baseball led up to

that phenominal catch, Kriz said.

USE YOUR RIST|Silhouetted by the evening

sunlight, Jake Rist (10) bats in the baseball/sotball

game. It was un to play or a good cause, Rist said.

TWINKLE TOES| On his way to home base, Harrison Scanlon (12)

shimminied around the diamond, closely avoiding Savannah Madison (12). I

had to dance my way to the plate in order to score, Scanlon said.

For our months, baseball players woke up at

4:15 a.m. to make it to 5:30 a.m. conditioning.

Working out beore the crack o dawn inspired

a motto: Sweat Happens. The team split to

add a competitive edge, receiving a plus or

completing each part o the routine aster than

the other. On the nal day, the teams tied. The

tie breaker: a Seventeenplayers ran down

the basketball court 17 times. Team two won.

The prize? Pride. And a T-shirt.

First block was my napping period because

I spent all my energy doing Burpies and

Seventeens and liting weights and running,

Samuel Coryell (11) said. But now I got sweet

muscles and Im a babe.
