Said it before and we will say it again- the sky is the limit for ET! Keep working, Hoss!

Good day at the plate today. First game back with varsity and went 2/3 with a single and a double. @AdidasAsBSB @PNHBaseball

Congrats to our very own! PN Baseball wishes you the best moving forward!

Leader on and off the field! Keep pushing, ET!

Weekend forecast… BASEBALL! Our jam packed weekend of baseball gets started with a matchup under the lights at GCS ballpark against @AfftonBaseball. First pitch at 6:00pm. See you there! #RollVikes

Thank you Viking Nation!

A common hitting flaw that is rarely corrected and can exposes certain hitters at higher levels, is “leaking” … the player’s front side is “running away” from contact prematurely. Sometimes also called “spinning off” the ball. This means energy is escaping the swing because of a chain of events that usually begins with the incorrect action of the stride foot. Correctly engaging the stride foot into the ground, called “foot-plant,” allows the body to efficiently sequence. As a result, the swing is shorter and barrel stays in the hitting zone longer. The BIG key is we have to be able to ***control our front knee*** before starting to swing. If a hitter can control their front knee and their front side a hair longer, stay behind contact, and attack the inside of the ball, it creates more whip.…(bat speed) and improves plate coverage. You might need to watch the video a couple times, because there are various ways to stride that allow the hitter to control their front knee. It is not a one size fits all action. And hitters who have sick power and want to pull the ball intentionally might actually “leak and clear” on purpose. But players who like to stay to middle of the field, might want to see what the initial movement into foot plant looks like. **** Remember, what happens to the front foot (stride foot) AFTER contact has little consequence. Often heavy torque causes it to fly open, or roll on side of foot. That’s all ok.

FINALLY! A full day of Viking athletics! Good luck to all the teams competing today #RollViks

Tomorrows V game against Fox has been moved from Fox to Parkway North because of the switch that occurred in Tuesday. The JV contest has been moved to Fox. Both games will start at 4:15 #RollViks

Today's Varsity game has been moved to Fox because of the rain. Start time is still 4:15. The JV contest has been cancelled due to the V game change #RollViks

Great job! Way to go Cam!

The Vikings are back in Action today at 4:15 at home against the Lions of Northwest. As always #RollViks

@GCbaseball15 It was a pleasure. Thank you all for hosting and getting the field playable. Hope to see you all next year!

@PNHBaseball Thanks for coming over. Wish we could have played 2 but enjoyed competing against you guys tonight. Good luck the rest of the year.

ITS GAME DAY! The Vikings will play a doubleheader today at Granite City. First pitch is set for 3pm and game 2 will start shortly after game one concludes #RollViks

Update: Todays DH against Granite City has been moved to a single game starting at 5pm. GC has lights so sunlight will not be a problem #RollViks

How many potentially great baseball players get left out because they can’t afford travel ball for 5k? Plus all the other expenses

Honored to be on this list with some amazing guys!! @AdidasAsBSB @NickHerrinsAs @NickHerrinAs @PNHBaseball

Happy to have you here, DK!

@PSouthBaseball @GatewayLegacy Always a pleasure. Thanks for having us! See you all in April.

Well we made it through the jamboree! It was fun to see the team compete! Big thanks to @PNHBaseball , @GatewayLegacy and all of the fans for coming out and braving the elements. #baseballseason

Start time is roughly 12:30. Games are being played at Parkway South.

Today’s jamboree has been moved up from a 1:30 start time to 12:30 in hopes of beating the expected rain. Hope to see you all there.
