The team continued its winning streak with a squeaker over Mountain View Baptist.
Behind by 1 point, Grace/Hanover surged ahead with 2 runs in the 7th inning. Hanging on in this hard-fought nail-biter, the team carried the day.

The team scored another win over Gateway Community Church. Here’s Ward’s report from the field:
“With several team members on vacation, members of the Grace/Hanover squad rotated positions continuously to find the right balance—and so they did! For Hanover: Scott Soderlund on the mound again delivered up the pitching, backed up on defense by Pizana family members Rachel and Matt in the outfield, and Mike at second base. Offensively, all added to the run tally with good line drive hitting from Scott and Rachel, while Mike and Matt brought roars from the stands with Mike just beating a throw to home plate to score an in the park home run (hit to the fence!), and Matt hitting yet another deep fly ball resulting in a stand up triple.”

This afternoon was the last of the three Tuesday gatherings ( July 5th, 12th & 19th) hosted by Kirsten Lowe. She invited all young ladies and mothers from Hanover and the surrounding community for a time of fellowship and encouragement.
Kirsten’s words: “My desire for the girls’ group was a time for Christian girls and their mothers to come together, fellowship, be encouraged and draw closer to the Lord. Although I felt ill-equipped and nervous about this task, the Lord gave me just the right topics. As I dug into the Word to prepare for the lessons God spoke to me in a mighty way. The topics we discussed were personal devotions, prayer, and gossip. Come to find out, God used what He had taught me to challenge the girls and mothers.”

The name speaks for itself. We had a great time of fun and fellowship! After a wonderful devotional on critical thinking, we re-tanked on all the goodies and headed outside and played till the sun went down.

With a win this week over Dahlgren/Trinity, our team is now 2-and-0! Here’s Ward’s report from the field:
“Once again the members from the Lowe and Pizana families added hitting and fielding strength—with two notable moments. First was Matt Pizana exploding on one pitch, hitting deep to the outfield and catching the defense by surprise. The second was Dave Lowe making a full speed running and fully extended catch of a fly ball, followed by a rolling tumble—and hanging on for the out! Additionally, Ryan Evans displayed south-paw hitting that kept the defense guessing as he worked the right side of the field.
“Lastly, Stephanie Weberg, behind the plate, catching—displayed an unusual method of tangling up an opposing base runner while attempting to prevent a score: While Stephanie was bending over to catch the incoming throw, the base runner ended up across Stephanie’s back reaching for the home plate—and it appeared that Stephanie was going to carry the young lady off the field rather than give up the score! Alas, the runner was able to reach out and touch the plate!”
