NORTHERN CA FATHERS DAY WOOD BAT INVITATIONAL UPDATE

Golden Era enters the weekend playoff round as the #2 seed, set to square off again Saturday morning...
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FATHERS DAY WOOD BAT INVITATIONAL UPDATE:
 |
| Ryan Morris, Todd Burgos, Travis Earby |
and great baseball instincts guaranteeing them a spot in Saturday’s
elimination round. Game 1 was won in dramatic fashion in the bottom of
the seventh inning with runners at first and third, one out and the
score tied 1-1.
Team Elite’s Travis Earby was on third base with Ryan Morris at the plate facing his high school teammate from Dublin behind the count. After a first pitch fastball called for a strike and a brief meeting on the mound between the pitcher and his coach, Morris took the 0-1 fastball to left field for a base hit driving in Earby for the game winning run.
The key play in the victory happened just before Morris’s hit when centerfielder Todd Burgos, who went 2-3 in the game, beat out a ground ball to shortstop in which the base runner, Travis Earby, went from first to third due to heads up base running when Earby noticed that there was no fielder covering third base.
On the mound for Golden Era was Johnny Punla who pitched a complete game giving up just five hits, walking only two batters, and striking out four Crawdad batters. After Punla gave up one unearned run in the first inning he threw six innings of shutout ball retiring six straight batters at one point.
Game two was dominated by the pitching performances of Clayton Nodal, Tucker Pulliam, and Conner Cabral. The trio combined for seven innings of shutout baseball giving up three hits, walking only one batter, and not allowing a runner past second base. Nodal, from Clayton Valley High School, pitched three innings and struck out 8 of the first 9 North Bay Baseball batters he faced. Nodal ended the game fanning eight batters, three of them looking at strike three, and giving up just one hit.
Golden Era Team Elite got two runs in the second inning after two outs led by Travis Earby who drew a walk after going down in the count 0-2. The following batter for GE was first basemen Tim Curry who took a ball the opposite way after a first pitch strike that moved the speedy Earby to third base.
Bases then got loaded when catcher Mitchell Petures got walked after battling a seven pitch at bat bringing up third basemen Joey Lyle who got hit by a pitch on a 1-1 count bringing in Travis Earby for the first run of the game. Later in the inning a failed pick off attempt to first base got away from North Bay’s fielder and Tim Curry scores from third making it 2-0.
Golden Era got their third and final run in the sixth inning when Ryan Morris led the inning off with a single and then went from first base to third base on a throwing error from third and was later driven in by Connor Cabral’s hit to left field.

A GREAT READ FOR ALL PARENTS...
What Makes A Nightmare Sports Parent -- And What Makes A Great One
Wednesday, February 15, 2012
Their overwhelming response: "The ride home from games with my parents."
The informal survey lasted three decades, initiated by two former longtime coaches who over time became staunch advocates for the player, for the adolescent, for the child. Bruce E. Brown and Rob Miller of Proactive Coaching LLC are devoted to helping adults avoid becoming a nightmare sports parent, speaking at colleges, high schools and youth leagues to more than a million athletes, coaches and parents in the last 12 years.
Those same college athletes were asked what their parents said that made them feel great, that amplified their joy during and after a ballgame.
Their overwhelming response: "I love to watch you play."
There it is, from the mouths of babes who grew up to become college and professional athletes. Whether your child is just beginning T-ball or is a travel-team soccer all-star or survived the cuts for the high school varsity, parents take heed.
The vast majority of dads and moms that make rides home from games miserable for their children do so inadvertently. They aren't stereotypical horrendous sports parents, the ones who scream at referees, loudly second-guess coaches or berate their children. They are well-intentioned folks who can't help but initiate conversation about the contest before the sweat has dried on their child's uniform.
In the moments after a game, win or lose, kids desire distance. They make a rapid transition from athlete back to child. And they’d prefer if parents transitioned from spectator – or in many instances from coach – back to mom and dad. ASAP.
Brown (pictured at podium), a high school and youth coach near Seattle for more than 30 years, says his research shows young athletes especially enjoy having their grandparents watch them perform.
"Overall, grandparents are more content than parents to simply enjoy watching the child participate," he says. "Kids recognize that."
A grandparent is more likely to offer a smile and a hug, say "I love watching you play," and leave it at that.
Meanwhile a parent might blurt out …
“Why did you swing at that high pitch when we talked about laying off it?"
"Stay focused even when you are on the bench.”
"You didn’t hustle back to your position on defense.”
"You would have won if the ref would have called that obvious foul.”
"Your coach didn't have the best team on the field when it mattered most.”
And on and on.
Sure, an element of truth might be evident in the remarks. But the young athlete doesn’t want to hear it immediately after the game. Not from a parent. Comments that undermine teammates, the coach or even officials run counter to everything the young player is taught. And instructional feedback was likely already mentioned by the coach.
"Let your child bring the game to you if they want to,” Brown says.
Brown and Miller, a longtime coach and college administrator, don't consider themselves experts, but instead use their platform to convey to parents what three generations of young athletes have told them.
"Everything we teach came from me asking players questions," Brown says. "When you have a trusting relationship with kids, you get honest answers. When you listen to young people speak from their heart, they offer a perspective that really resonates.”
So what’s the takeaway for parents?
"Sports is one of few places in a child's life where a parent can say, 'This is your thing,’ ” Miller says. "Athletics is one of the best ways for young people to take risks and deal with failure because the consequences aren’t fatal, they aren’t permanent. We’re talking about a game. So they usually don’t want or need a parent to rescue them when something goes wrong.
"Once you as a parent are assured the team is a safe environment, release your child to the coach and to the game. That way all successes are theirs, all failures are theirs."
And discussion on the ride home can be about a song on the radio or where to stop for a bite to eat. By the time you pull into the driveway, the relationship ought to have transformed from keenly interested spectator and athlete back to parent and child:
"We loved watching you play. … Now, how about that homework?"
FIVE SIGNS OF A NIGHTMARE SPORTS PARENT
Nearly 75 percent of kids who play organized sports quit by age 13. Some find that their skill level hits a plateau and the game is no longer fun. Others simply discover other interests. But too many promising young athletes turn away from sports because their parents become insufferable.
Even professional athletes can behave inappropriately when it comes to their children. David Beckham was recently ejected from a youth soccer field for questioning an official. New Orleans radio host Bobby Hebert, a former NFL quarterback, publicly dressed down LSU football coach Les Miles after Alabama defeated LSU in the BCS title game last month. Hebert was hardly unbiased: His son had recently lost his starting position at LSU.
Mom or dad, so loving and rational at home, can transform into an ogre at a game. A lot of kids internally reach the conclusion that if they quit the sport, maybe they'll get their dad or mom back.
As a sports parent, this is what you don't want to become. This is what you want to avoid:
• Overemphasizing sports at the expense of sportsmanship: The best athletes keep their emotions in check and perform at an even keel, win or lose. Parents demonstrative in showing displeasure during a contest are sending the wrong message. Encouragement is crucial -- especially when things aren’t going well on the field.
• Having different goals than your child: Brown and Miller suggest jotting down a list of what you want for your child during their sport season. Your son or daughter can do the same. Vastly different lists are a red flag. Kids generally want to have fun, enjoy time with their friends, improve their skills and win. Parents who write down “getting a scholarship” or “making the All-Star team” probably need to adjust their goals. “Athletes say their parents believe their role on the team is larger than what the athlete knows it to be,” Miller says.
• Treating your child differently after a loss than a win: Almost all parents love their children the same regardless of the outcome of a game. Yet often their behavior conveys something else. "Many young athletes indicate that conversations with their parents after a game somehow make them feel as if their value as a person was tied to playing time or winning,” Brown says.
• Undermining the coach: Young athletes need a single instructional voice during games. That voice has to be the coach. Kids who listen to their parents yelling instruction from the stands or even glancing at their parents for approval from the field are distracted and can't perform at a peak level. Second-guessing the coach on the ride home is just as insidious.
• Living your own athletic dream through your child: A sure sign is the parent taking credit when the child has done well. “We worked on that shot for weeks in the driveway,” or “You did it just like I showed you” Another symptom is when the outcome of a game means more to a parent than to the child. If you as a parent are still depressed by a loss when the child is already off playing with friends, remind yourself that it’s not your career and you have zero control over the outcome.
FIVE SIGNS OF AN IDEAL SPORTS PARENT
Let’s hear it for the parents who do it right. In many respects, Brown and Miller say, it’s easier to be an ideal sports parent than a nightmare. “It takes less effort,” Miller says. “Sit back and enjoy.” Here’s what to do:
• Cheer everybody on the team, not just your child: Parents should attend as many games as possible and be supportive, yet allow young athletes to find their own solutions. Don’t feel the need to come to their rescue at every crisis. Continue to make positive comments even when the team is struggling.
• Model appropriate behavior: Contrary to the old saying, children do as you do, not as you say. When a parent projects poise, control and confidence, the young athlete is likely to do the same. And when a parent doesn’t dwell on a tough loss, the young athlete will be enormously appreciative.
• Know what is suitable to discuss with the coach: The mental and physical treatment of your child is absolutely appropriate. So is seeking advice on ways to help your child improve. And if you are concerned about your child’s behavior in the team setting, bring that up with the coach. Taboo topics: Playing time, team strategy, and discussing team members other than your child.
• Know your role: Everyone at a game is either a player, a coach, an official or a spectator. “It’s wise to choose only one of those roles at a time,” Brown says. “Some adults have the false impression that by being in a crowd, they become anonymous. People behaving poorly cannot hide.” Here’s a clue: If your child seems embarrassed by you, clean up your act.
• Be a good listener and a great encourager: When your child is ready to talk about a game or has a question about the sport, be all ears. Then provide answers while being mindful of avoiding becoming a nightmare sports parent. Above all, be positive. Be your child's biggest fan. "Good athletes learn better when they seek their own answers," Brown says.
And, of course, don’t be sparing with those magic words: "I love watching you play."

CHRIS MAZZA OF THE MINNESOTA TWINS WORKS WITH PLAYERS DURING GOLDEN ERA's SPRING TRAINING…
Players showed up to Spring Training 2011 with a special guest waiting for them, former Golden Era
player & current pitcher in the Minnesota Twins organization, Chris
Mazza.
While at practice, Chris began by taking
questions from the younger players, which are always a lot of fun to
hear. The first question asked was do you know the 3 R’s, which is a
hitting term we use in the Fundamentals of Hitting… and the nice thing
was Chris still remembered the answer!
Additional questions the players asked we’re
along the lines of have you ever beamed a hitter on purpose and are you
going to be in the Hall of Fame one day…
Following the Q and A, Chris talked about the
importance of working hard and always shooting for your dreams in life.
Coach Derek Bell said of Chris “Baseball is said to have 5 tools
that players are measured by, but I believe there are 7, which add
heart and desire. You can have all the talent in the world but without
heart and desire you probably won’t amount up to much. Chris has those
6th and 7th tools of heart and desire and I hope the players walked
away knowing that anything is possible if you keep believing in
yourself… because Chris is the perfect example of that”.
What Coach Derek Bell is referring to is most people
who see Chris now probably wouldn’t believe in high school he was about
5’10 and only threw around 83 miles per hour… because now Chris is 6’4
and throws 97 miles per hour.
After giving a chat to the players, Chris watched
all the players throw and helped with some mechanics before moving in to
pick-off moves. All of our players to date have learned pick-off moves
to first as well as second base, and Chris fine-tuned the moves and
taught players how to be even quicker on a pick-off throw.
All in all it was great to have Chris on the field
and the players had a TON of fun being around a pitcher who plays
professional baseball!
We can’t thank you enough Chris and we wish you all the success in the world!

Nov. 13th, 2011Twin Creeks Sports Complex)
Back in action over the weekend of Nov. 12th & 13th, the Golden Era 10’s continued their hot play on the diamond. The tournament started out with the 10’s bats picking right back up where they left off, on fire, scoring 17 runs in 4 innings against the DBA (Danville Baseball Academy) Crushers.
The big inning of the game came in the 4th, when the G.E. 10’s put 12 runs on the scoreboard. The inning featured big hits from several players, including triples from Ryan Mooar & Parker Allen as well as doubles from Hunter Mott, Aidan Pearce, Kavika Baumgartner & Nehemiah House. Sammy Von Feldon, Giacomo Watson & C.J. Hudson added base-hits in the frame to add to Golden Era biggest inning of the Fall.
Golden Era vs. DCT Baseball
The Golden Era 10’s picked up their second win of the tournament as their solid play continued against DCT, picking up a 6-0 shutout victory. Nehemiah House got the start on the mound and was nothing short of dominating. In 5 innings pitched House allowed just 1 hit, no earned runs, 2 walks and struck out 3.
Hunter Mott was Golden Era’s offensive threat in the game, scoring 3 of the teams 6 runs while reaching base 3 times with a single, walk and hit by pitch. Mott also picked up 4 steals on the bases.
Throughout the game the G.E. 10’s were very aggressive on the bases, picking up 10 stolen bases, lead by C.J Watson with 1, Aidan Pearce & David Tibbetts with 2, along with Mott’s 4.
Ryan Mooar came in to close out the game on the mound, throwing an inning of scoreless baseball.
Pacifica Chaos vs. Golden Era Baseball
In the Golden Era’s 10’s final game of the tournament they had the opportunity to face the current #1 ranked team in the state of California, Pacifica Chaos. David Tibbetts took the mound for G.E. and threw well striking out 3 while give up a couple runs.
In the bottom of the 3rd inning, down 4-0 Golden Era put together a rally off Pacifica’s hard throwing pitcher with a single by Ryan Mooar, who then stole 2nd base. Hunter Mott then lined a single into centerfield to make the game 4-1. Giacomo Watson then also reached base and the G.E. 10’s had an opportunity to draw closer. Pacifica was able to get out of the inning though and went on to win the championship.
All in all, the Golden Era 10’s played great over the weekend, scoring 31 runs, playing solid defense & pitching very well. As equally important, they showed they are really coming along as baseball players and left EVERYTHING they had on the field. It was great to watch!

Golden Era Goes Undefeated in USF Fall League
The squad was guided by tremendous leadership from seniors Steve Carroll, Chris Mazza, Jonathon Downer and Matt Law, who all had outstanding Fall seasons both at the plate and in the field. At the plate Golden Era was impressive throughout the fall, averaging over 10 runs a game. Hudson Facchinni, Tyler Victor, Dylan Steen, and Austin Popelar all were major contributors.
On the mound the pitching staff had an equally impressive fall, with an ERA of allowing less than 2.5 runs a game. Blake Hanestead, Greg Boyson, Jonathon Sa, Brendan Kyle, Matt Law and Tyler Victor were solid week in and week out. Congratulations on a remarkable undefeated season and great job again to all the players on the fall squad.
