It's the air. The water. The pollen.

(Douglas) hit the ball well against a pretty good pitcher. (Cutler) threw the ball well. He struck out seven. They just got some big hits at the right times.

Our goal all along was to get at least one win from Reno, Carson and Douglas. Those are the three teams to beat in the Sierra. If we can get at least one from each from them, we will have a great chance to get that fourth (and final) playoff spot.

They got some hits right down the line that kept some of those innings going. We could have gotten out of those innings. And then it's a different game. But give Douglas credit. They hit the ball real hard.

It's been everything from a dairy to a poultry farm to a vegetable operation. I'm running it as a naturally grown, small fruits and vegetables and sizeable maple operation.
