The Fairview Knights Level-3 baseball team traveled to Standley Lake High school for a
doubleheader on April 9th, 2016.
The boys won both games on a gorgeous day - their first wins of the season! Bonus was the F-18 flyovers - pics at bottom.

John was just crushing 'em!!!
Max hitting a rope to left field
Luke fouls one off ... and then connects
Joey certainly is keeping his eye on the ball!
Kyle also keeping his eye on the ball - but got hurt early on - bummer!
Anthony just missing
Kenton watches a low pitch go by ...
Takes a swing at a high one ...
And then CONNECTS!!!
Phillip stroking a solid hit
John had a hot bat the entire game!
Max keeps an eye on the ball even after it is behind him! ;-)
Except he closes his eyes when he swings at a high one! ;-)
He connected numerous times
Nate is holding out for a juicier pitch!
Nate at a catcher demonstrates the eyes-closed catch. He caught both entire games - what a workhorse!
Luke slides into home
Luke and Nate converge on a pop-up, but Max calls 'em off for the catch
At the end, I setup the camera behind the backstop as Max closed out the game
He has quite the leg kick as he fires home
Compilation of various steps of the pitching motion - looking good ... and love the smile at the end! ;-)
Here's a 10-frame sequence of Max pitching
Use the controls to play, step, pause, slow-down, and/or speed-up the animation.

A pair of F-18's fly over the field - there was actually 3 of 'em
They did several landings/takeoffs at the nearby Rocky Mountain Airport - click to see airshow pics
This "bug-smasher" wasn't quite as cool to hear or look at! ;-)
