Things are getting good here for Fillmore baseball. One of the best indicators of quality coaching and a good baseball program is the development of all players.
Remember volunteering is rewarding not just to the community but to see the kids do what they love and know you helped make it happen.

The program is run by volunteers, and Ruben Venegas from Santa Paula came in to pinch umpire for Fillmore. Santa Clara Valley staying united in smalltown, hometown baseball!
Please note: the league is in need of umpires. You don’t have to be perfect, just present. And let’s all remember the umpires are volunteers and doing their best for the kids.

And Drum Roll Please…PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Aiden Arias from Yankees Intermediates is a team player and proved it time and again on Saturday when he showed his dominance on the mound and held the opposing team. His defense had his back and kept up the positive drive, not giving up on the mound.

A special shout-out to Roman Cervantes from Angels, who is having quite the year and wow it’s something to watch. His first homerun was Saturday and the smile on that kid’s face as he rounded the bases was priceless. Every single game, he is progressing more and more. The click button has been activated. Everyone’s click button is being activated on this team.
That’s good quality coaching from Michael Albanez’s coaching team. If you want some exciting baseball these kids never disappoint.

Don’t forget to thank Rob Lemons from Lemon Tree Embroidery for the Dingers hat, a much sought out prize by all the players. My son is swinging as hard as can for one and its great motivation! Good job Rob and thanks for announcing--you belong on the radio my friend.

Well, that’s all for this week. Remember your sunscreen and water—it’s getting hot out there!
