Holbrook Junior League vs Glenburn (05-21-16)

Playing under the lights at Mahaney Diamond is pretty gnarly, and it doesn't get much better. Actually, that's not entirely true, it doesn't get much better than winning spectacularly at Mahaney. The season opener was crazy to watch, the team was incredibly productive with several triples and a dramatic in the park dinger. You'll have to forgive my cheesy commentary, I'm a photographer, not a writer. But without further ado, Saturday's highlight reel.

I'm gonna start off late in the night because the rip from Mr. Chapman was absolutely incredible, and seeing the energy of everyone was inspiring. He got the whole dugout on their feet.

By the time he was rounding second, the entire stadium was on their feet and cheering louder than ever.

It's no question that the entire offense was getting busy punching holes in Glenburn's defense without any trouble. Max and Ben here with a couple of incredible plays.

And when they were cutting it close, it really wasn't that close.

Defensively there were some interesting choices but all seemed to go well behind a pretty deep bullpen.

Chapman, back at it again with a beautiful routine play at first, a new spot for him, he's usually more comfortable on the other line, but I definitely have faith!

Some awesome defense here, nobody else in the league stands a chance from where I stand.
