Welcome to our M & M Bank Pinto team web site.
I want to welcome everyone to our team this year. I am sure we are going to have a lot of fun while learning one of the best sports. The goal of our team this year will be to make sure that every player gets the most out of their experience. We will learn basic fundamentals, play as a team whether we win or lose, and show good sportsmanship to our team members, umpires, and our opponents.
As coach, I will strive to make sure that every player gets the opportunity to play equally. Every player will play the infield and outfield. All players will rotate with substitutions. Only three positions will be left to certain players, those being pitcher, catcher, and first base. These positions require a bit more skill than the others but most importantly I will not put someone in a position where they might get hurt.
With that said - I hope that everyone will have a great year!
Coach Mike
Another One Slips By
6/7
Minor Chiropractic snuck out the win in the bottom of the sixth but it was a game we played well. Tyler Bockholdt, Tyler Koenig, Jim Lucas, Austin Garza, and Brad Sample all pitched well allowing only 7 walks combined - a GREAT EFFORT! Brad Sample and LaShawn Walker continued their hot bats and Mike Fruscione added a big hit. Manny Trujillo made a key play in the field, and Kyle Knaub showed heads-up base running.

Big Win in Extra's Against Feece Oil
6/2
Good pitching wins games. With only 6 total walks for the game, Brad Sample, Austin Garza, Mike Fruscione, and Tyler Bockholdt proved that theory. Great defense helps too! Manny Trujillo, LaShawn Walker, Tyler B, and Austin made big defensive plays that kept Feece at bay. Ohhh, and it doesn't hurt if you hit the ball. Kyle Knaub got the game going with a big 2 run hit in the first. Brad and LaShawn added hits in a big win.
