Schedule & Game Recap

A great season in 2009 for the Hens no matter how you look at it. They made it 8 games into the play-offs; knocking off the 3rd place team in the quarter finals and took the Lutz Cup winning #1seeded team to the last game of the 5 game semi-final series. No matter, it was a good show and it proved that the Hens have the solid squad needed to compete in this league. Quoting team Manager, Dan Pokoradi: “The Hens are a first rate squad and 2009 was another growth pattern that we have always wanted. 2007, our inaugural year as the MudHens, produced the Legends Cup (B-pool champs), 2008 brought the Lutz Cup (top pennant record for the regular season at 17-3) and 2009 took us into the top Vintage round deep into the semi-finals. Next stop....THE WHOLE THING and the kitchen sink too!” With the drive to succeed, the MudHens can very well achieve that goal. Some tweaks to the roster and lessons learned through the season will provided positive results next year.

Despite the regular season being wrapped up for the season in BVB, the MudHens continue to find ways to keep the gloves from a “long sleep.” Just last weekend, the Hens travelled to the Oakville Fall Classic and played three games over the weekend despite the weather issues. A lot of good baseball and fun with some familiar characters from around the old loop. Many thanks to Rich Knight and the Golden A’s for hosting us again. The Hens will continue to find some pickup games through October where they can and for some, a little travel south to Arizona and Florida to play some tournament ball. All in an effort to push off storing the equipment for as long as they can.

The BVB MudHens want to thank all the sponsors from 2009 as well as the fans and family that came out to support us throughout the season. The BVB MudHens will continue to keep you updated on team and clubhouse activities throughout the winter via the website. A great season in 2009 from a great group of players. We will all look forward to the gatherings throughout the off-season and it will be spring in no time.

GO HENS!
