Pre season conditioning has begun

Pre season conditioning has begun. Freshmen will work out Wednesdays with an additional day to be determined within the next week. Sophomore, Junior, and Senior candidates will work out Tuesday and Friday. Workouts will be from 3:15 - 5:00 and consist of stretching, throwing, (our long toss program), bullpens and mechanical work for pitchers, and hitting. Some requirments.
1. Even though this is voluntary, being punctual is not. Be there at 3:15!
2. Bring sweats and several layers. We will stretch and throw unless it is raining or snowing.
3. You must have a physical on file with the trainer.
4. I'd like ALL players to be in fitness second semester, preferably a morning class to allow them daily workouts and time to recover on game day. This allows us to use our practice time for baseball skills as opposed to running and lifting.


Open Field has Started

It’s time for OPEN FIELD for Eagle High Baseball. Come out to the Varsity field on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school (3:15-5pm). Coaches will be out there to help you with fundamentals and more. Come ready to play with all your gear. See you there!

STATE CHAMPS - Game Summary by Coach Wright

The Mustangs kicked off the 2011 State Tournament in style behind Mason Stidhams second no hitter of the season. The big righty was staked to four runs in the first inning by five consecutive two out hits. Andrew Ely tripled off the top of the right centerfield wall, Caleb Falck followed with a two run homer to left. Patrick O'Brien then hit a bomb to right center field. Stidham helped his own cause by doubling off the right field wall and scored on Moose Jacksons line drive single. The Mustangs continued to pound the ball and play great defense behind a masterful Stidham to defeat Highland 10-2 and move to a second round matchup with perennial Idaho Power, the Lewiston Bengals.

Lefty AJ Snow pitched another gem for the Varsity in the State Semifinal. He struck out 10 Bengals and allowed two hits to cap off his high school pitching career in fine style shutting out a very good Lewiston team. Again, the Mustangs played super defense turning two double plays and continued to pound the ball. O'Brien continued to be "en fuego" with a first inning RBI double to left center and a three run shot in the fourth that left the yard in a hearbeat. Falcks 2 run double capped the scoring in the 6th and Snow closed it out with two strikeouts in the bottom half to send the Mustangs to the State Championship game against SIC rival and defending State Champion Capital Eagles.

Brandon Brown drew the task of shutting down Capital who had scored 31 runs in the previous two games and the junior lefty was up to the task. Brandon mixed his breaking ball and change with an impressive fastball to symie the Eagles, limiting a very good hitting team to six, well spaced hits. Andrew Ely started the scoriing with a long solo homerun to right with two outs in the first inning. Singles by Spencer Gothberg and AJ Snow set the table for another clutch 2 out hit....a 2 run single by Skylar Souza. In the 3rd, Patrick O'Brien hit a bomb to left to make it 4-0. Anything in the air that long ought to have a flight attendant aboard! Ely and Falck opened the 5th with consecutive singles followed by a walk to O'Brien. Mason Stidham singled to center to drive in the 5th and 6th runs. In the 6th, a walk to Brian Kraft followed by a run and hit single by Ely set the stage for Caleb Falcks two run single and push the Mustang lead to 8 - 3. Skylar Souza closed it out in the 7th, striking out Capitals slugging catcher, Mitch Skaggs on a snappy 3-2 curveball and finally forcing a pop up that most appropriately settled in the glove of 3 time all SIC shortstop, Andrew Ely. The Mustangs are STATE CHAMPIONS!!!!

State Tourney tid bits...

  • The club outscored their opponents 28 -5
  • The Mustangs hit Five homeruns (3 by Pat O'Brien)out of a good sized professional field.
  • The Pitching staff allowed but 9 hits in the three games.
  • The team committed only two errors in the tournament
  • We outhit our opponents 46 to 9
  • Most importantly....everyone on this club contributed in some way and at some time to this accomplishment. I'm very, very proud of these young men!

Brandon Brown threw the second no hitter of the season for the Mustangs and was absolutely dominant with 15 strikeouts. Brown walked only two hitters and was ahead in the count all afternoon.....a great effort at the right time of the season!

Varsity Game Summary Borah
4-24-11 by Coach Wright

The Mustangs got back on track with a two game series sweep of the Borah Lions. In game one, Skylar Souza made his first pitching start of the season a memorable one throwing a 3 hit shutout. Skylar struck out 12 and walked none in a most impressive showing. Caleb Falck drove in a run as the bats remained very quiet. The good pitching job and errorless defense allowed the club to win 2-0.

Game two was highlighted by Mason Stidhams No Hitter. Mason walked 5 but had dominant stuff that allowed him to complete the 5 inning no no. The offense came alive with 15 runs on 17 hits. Pat O'Brien had three hits including a pair of doubles, Andrew Ely had a double and Triple, Skylar Souza was 3 for 3 with a pair of doubles and Brian Kraft hit his 8th homerun of the season.

Varsity Game Summary Capital
4-20-11 by Coach Wright

The Mustangs dropped a pair of games to the Capital Eagles Monday and Tuesday 8-3 and 6-2.  Monday's game was well played but the norrmally potent Mustang bats were held in check by Capitals ace, Matt Wickham.  Tuesday was another story as the Mustangs committed 6 errors, missed several signs, and played their worst game of the year.  Bubba Murray pitched credibly as did AJ Snow and Spencer Gothberg in relief.  The club managed but 3 hits as well.  The losses dropped Eagle into third place as Mt. View took over the 2nd spot and Timberline continued to win.  Better days ahead for the Varsity.

Varsity Game Summary Centennial
Game 2, 4-15-11 by Coach Wright

The Mustangs capped a series sweep of rival Centennial 9-3  behind a complete game effort by Mason Stidham.  Mace picked up his 4th win against no losses and the Mustangs hammered out 11 hits and 9 runs.  Execution and timely hitting were the keys for the Varsity.  Caleb Falck had a pair of bases loaded doubles and a Sac Fly to drive in six runs. Two big double plays keyed the defense as Andrew Ely and Skylar Souza continue to develop into a high quality keystone combination.  A big week looms with four games on tap vs. Capital and Borah.  

Spirit Wear

Varsity Game Summary Centennial
Game 1, 4-14-11 by Coach Wright

The Mustangs ran their overall record to 10-2 with a big win over local rival Centennial.  The club rode the arm of dominant lefty AJ Snow who struck out 13 without walking a batter in another outstanding performance.  14 hits and 12 runs were symptomatic of the teams long layoff and hunger to get back to action.  Andrew Ely's long two run homer off the hitters eye in Centerfield was big and all nine hitters in the lineup had at least one hit.  The game ended by the mercy rule in the sixth.   

Spirit Wear

Varsity Game Summary Caldwell
4-5-11 by Coach Wright

The Mustangs improved their SIC record to 7 - 2 with a 5-2 victory over the visiting Caldwell Cougars.  Mason Stidham started, struck out 8, and earned his third win of the season.  Spencer Gothberg came on in relief and pitched very well to save the victory for Stidham.  Caleb Falcks 3 run, bases clearing double was the key blow as most of the Mustang bats were uncharacterisitically quiet.  The club now has a 9 day break between games. ...time that can be used to smooth out some of the rough edges and continue to get better.

Bucks Bag Tournament
by Coach Wright

Rain cut the Buck's bags tournament in half this week as both Saturday games vs. Idaho Falls and Pocatello were rained out. The Mustangs managed two wins with a 30-3 shellacking of Columbia and a 6-0 shutout of Bishop Kelly. Caleb Falck was a single short of hitting for the Cycle vs. Columbia and his homerun was a grandslam. Patrick O'brien also went deep with the bases loaded and both boys drove in 7 runs each. Logan Butzier also had three hits and Brandon Brown picked up his second win of the season. Zack De St.Germain again provided an excellent job in relief. AJ Snow was the story in the 6-0 shutout of Bishop Kelly. Snow was dominant striking out 11 while giving up only 3 hits. AJ has thrown shutouts his last two outings....great job! Mason Stidham doubled and homered and Skylar Souza had three hits to lead the Mustangs at the plate.

The Mustangs earned a series split with the Mountain View Mavericks.  In game one, Brandon Brown returned to the pitching rotation with 5 shutout innings to earn his first win of  the season.  Zach DeSt.Germain finished the game with two strong innings.  The offense put up 6 runs as Brian Kraft and Patrick O'Brien both hit homeruns.  In game two, the Mustangs scored 3  in the first on Brian Krafts 6th homerun of the season.  Mt. View came back strong with 4 runs in their half of the inning and added 3 more in the 5th.  In their half of the 7th, the Mustangs tied the score on 2 singles, a three run homer by Andrew Ely, and doubles by Caleb Falck and Mason Stidham.....a tremendous effort however, the Mavericks responded with a run of their own in the bottom of the 7th to hand the Mustangs their second loss of the season.

Varsity Game Summary Rocky
3-23-11 by Coach Wright

The Mustangs exploded for 17 runs on 13 hits and rode the right arm of Mason Stidham who limited Rocky Mountain to 3 hits and no runs.  Stidhams effort was the second consecutive shutout for the Mustang staff following AJ Snows 1-0 win thursday.  The staff has given up only two runs in the last four games while the offense has scored 46.  Brian Kraft and Andrew Ely started the scoring with back to back 1st inning doubles and the Varsity never looked back.  Kraft went deep in the third with two on and Caleb Falck hit a grand slam in the 5th to cap the scoring.

Varsity Game Summary Meridian
3-18-11 by Coach Wright

The Mustangs improved their SIC record to 3 -1 with a series sweep of the Meridian Warriors. Both games ended pre-maturely due to the ten run rule as the Mustang bats produced 28 runs in the two game series. Game 1 saw the Mustangs set a school record with 5 home runs. Brian Kraft popped two while Pat O'Brien, Mason Stidham, and Jason Jackson went back to back to back! In 38 years of Coaching, Coach Wright nor any of the staff has ever seen that happen in a High School Game! Game two was much the same as Brian Kraft went deep again and the rest of the club added 14 hits in an impressive offensive display. All 7 Mustang pitchers threw and amassed 20 strikeouts and only 4 walks. All 7 will be available for our first four game week starting Monday with a two game series vs. Rocky Mountain and concluding Thursday and Friday with a series vs. Mt. View.

2011 Pre-Season Outlook by Coach Wright

The Mustangs look to be very competetive as the 2011 season kicks off.  The club looks to be solid in all phases of the game and if we can stay healthy and stay together, it could be a very good year.  Pitching, the heart of any ball club, looks to be a strong point.  4 solid starters with contrasting styles and some good arms out of the pen should put the Mustangs on solid ground during the tough four game weeks the Southern Idaho Conference schedule throws at it's members.  Junior lefty Brandon Brown is again healthy and was named to the West Team for Team USA selection this June in North Carolina.  The last Treasure Valley athlete to earn such an honor was Travis Wong back in 1997.  Quite an honor for Brandon!  Mason Stidham, our 6'7", righty has gained 30 lbs. and lots of velocity.  His performance this fall earned him a scholarship to D-1 Seattle University.  Bubba Murray continues to improve and has recieved some serious attention from both California and Northwest JC's.  AJ Snow, our crafty lefty, may be the most polished pitcher on the staff and he is looking very strong in winter workouts.  Patrick O'Brien, Nevada Reno bound, will split time between 1st base and relief appearances.  His arm is again healthy and he looks better each and every workout.  Juniors Skylar Souza and Spencer Gothberg along with Senior Zack DeSt.Germain who closed last years big win vs. Arizona 5A champs, Horizon of Scottsdale, look to round out a pretty special staff. 
     Defensively, the Mustangs have suffered a significant loss as returning Centerfielder and leadoff man CJ Darling is out for at least a portion of the season with a knee injury.  His bat, speed, and experience will be missed but his return is hopeful.  Seniors Brian Kraft, a career .418 hitter as a two year Varsity starter, and AJ  Snow will likely split time in Center.  Logan Butzier, a solid player in all phases, returns to the outfield as well. Andrew Ely, Eagles two time, first team All SIC shortstop returns to anchor the infield.  Andrew has hit over .440 in both his varsity seasons and is one of the top players in Idaho as evidenced by his acceptance of a scholarship to Pac 10 stalwart University of Washington.  Junior Skylar Souza, the Vipers AA shortstop, will move to second and potentially make the Mustangs exceptional up the middle.  Patrick O'Brien, a two year starter as DH, will move into the defensive lineup at first where he will likely share some time with Stidham who is also a capable outfielder and hitter.  Senior Jason Jackson's strong arm and big bat make him the leading candidate at third with Spencer Gothberg and Zach DeSt.Germain looking to compete for playing time.  Two year starter Caleb Falck returns at catcher.  Falck provides leadership, a strong arm, an impressive work ethic, and a big bat to the lineiup.  Caleb has committed to Western Oregon University. 
     Offensively, the club looks strong.  Ely (.440, no strikeouts) Kraft (.418), Falck (.385) O'Brien (5 homeruns) make for an impressive heart of the order.  Souza is a legit switch hitter who can run and Jackson provides additional power.  AJ Snow is a solid hitter and there are no "easy outs" anywhere on the roster.  The pieces are in place.  That being said.....baseball is a team game.  If it was all about talent, the Yankees would win every year!  This club has a chance to be special IF we can stay healthy, stay together, and develop positive team chemistry with winning as the prime goal.  Hang on folks and enjoy the ride.  2011 looks to be a very interesting and potentially successful season.
