Electric.......

Saturday night we played our first game of the season up in Marysville, California against the Yuba Sutter Sox and won 5-4. It was an incredible atmosphere as 3, 360 fans were in attendance.

The Sox were holding "faith night" and had a christian band in concert just after our batting practice and about 45 minutes before the game. Former MLB pitcher Dave Dravecky was in attendance and presented an award to a young fan and then gave his testimony after the game. It was a great venue and the game was exciting as we held off a late rally by the Sox in the bottom of the ninth to hold on for the win.

It was also our first opportunity to meet with another team and that was an impressive sight to see about 50 college players meeting under a single tent to hear Chris Beck's testimony and Bruce share with the guys.

It was a very unique experience to meet with the other team and share the gift that Jesus Christ will provide if we accept him as a our personal savior. I am really looking forward to the other games and devotions we will have this summer.

We went to the local host Church today, West Hills in Morgan Hill, California. It was a packed service with no open seats. Our entire team was in attendance for the message. It was good to meet with some of the individuals that are making the host family process a success.

We had the rest of the day off and my family and I took in some sight-seeing. We headed south down Hwy 101, then to the famous Hwy 1 route and viewed some of the most incredible landscaping I have ever come in contact with.

I hope to have the photos up soon as we went to The Fisherman's Wharf and Monterey Bay. We then continued down the winding coast line and visited Pebble Beach, what an awesome course! The trip ended with some beach time at Carmel. Not much water time though, it was freezing.

It has been a very good day and I am anticipating another great day tomorrow. We will head back to Monterey Bay for a doubleheader in the afternoon.
