FRIDAY NIGHT CONFERENCE BASEBALL GAME

April 23 - My grandson, Michael, was playing in a Conference Baseball game at the High School on Friday night. We met them at the game. Stasia works with Seniors at Goldsboro Parks and Recreation, and when she told me it was “Senior” night at the game, I thought she meant it was a special night for us old folks. She, of course, meant High School Seniors!!

Arriving at the game, we saw the Senior sign. Michael is No. 10.



The Seniors designated Senior night aa Black-Out night – they would all wear black. The baseball team wore black jerseys sent to them from by former player who is now with the Pittsburg Pirates farm team!

A group of students sitting in front of us wore black Warrior tee shirts that were sold by the Seniors as a money-making project.

Stasia called all the mothers of Seniors on the team and the Senior parents also wore black.

The nine Seniors on the team and their parents were honored on Friday night. They were each introduced as they were caled out to the field.

Michael in action!!

And in the Goldsboro newspaper!! "Michael Fields gobbles up a ground ball..."

It was a great game – one of the best -- with the Warriors winning over their archrivals, Aycock, by one to nothing, making the two teams tied for First in Conference Play. There are two more Conference games to play to determine the ultimate Conference Winner for 2010.
